TRIVIA QUIz Test your brain and win two Michael Connelly bestsellers. To celebrate Michael Connelly’s recent visit to Australia we have a copy of two of his latest Mickey Haller books − The Fifth Witness and The Lincoln Lawyer to give to the member who can answer this month’s ‘Who Am I?’ question. Michael Connelly knows police, having worked for years as a crime reporter on the Los Angeles Times. Now he is one of the best when it comes to crime thrillers and courtroom dramas. In his latest book, The Fifth Witness, Mickey Haller is a lawyer who has to deal with the financial downturn trying to keep a roof over his clients’ heads rather than keeping them out of jail. The Lincoln Lawyer has been re-released to coincide with the release of a feature film starring Matthew McConaughey and Marisa Tomei. This remarkable story that brings to life Mickey Haller, the lawyer who works out of the back seat of his car. How is your general knowledge?
