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.
