A trap for a lawyer. Connelli M.

In order for the successful criminal lawyer to be Mickey Holler to speak in court on the other side of the barricade - namely, as an independent prosecutor, a weighty foundation is needed. And yes, it is available, because "there are types of evil that should be eradicated at any cost." Soon, a person will be released, almost a quarter of a century ago convicted for the abduction of a girl.

She was killed, but the genetic examination did not establish his involvement in the death of the child. The prisoner filed a civil lawsuit requiring multimillion -dollar compensation. A big hype is raised. But a certain confidential information is known to Holler. He is almost sure that... the case is considered again, but every experienced lawyer knows that the jury is influenced, and sometimes under frank pressure and accusations are not always objective.

Holler needs those who will play on his side, and he will be enlisted by their support - this is the ex -wife, an assistant to the district prosecutor, nicknamed Maggie, and the half -brother, Detective Harry Bosch, who will be the interrogator. Actually, he has one hope. Only thanks to him can it be possible to establish who the accused is: a victim of justice or a brutal killer.
