Resurrection Walk by Michael Connelly

 
First Line: The family gathered in the visitor lot: Jorge Ochoa's mother and brother and me.
 
After getting a wrongfully convicted man out of prison, lawyer Mickey Haller is inundated with requests from incarcerated people who claim they're innocent. He recruits his half-brother, retired LAPD Detective Harry Bosch to weed through the letters. Both men know that most of them will be false.
 
When Bosch reads the letter of a woman in prison for killing her husband, a sheriff's deputy, he reviews the case and sees that some things just don't add up.
 
Now Haller has an uphill battle to fight in court. He and Bosch are both in danger from people who don't want the case reopened and will do anything to keep the truth from coming to light.

Reading one of Michael Connelly's books featuring Mickey Haller and Harry Bosch is a sure thing. Readers are guaranteed a roller coaster ride story showcasing how brilliant these two men are at ferreting out the truth and successfully getting justice. I also like how Connelly has dealt with the aging Harry Bosch. Yes, his advancing years are affecting him, but he's still more than capable of playing a vital role in any pursuit of truth. And as far as Mickey Haller is concerned, by the book's end, he's reached a crossroads, and I'm looking forward to seeing which road he takes.
 
I don't care what format I choose to read Connelly's books. Still, after having enjoyed Amazon's TV series, Bosch, I have to admit that I have a bit of a preference for the audiobook version so I can listen to Titus Welliver. (Love his voice!) 

Are you in the mood for a compelling investigation and riveting courtroom drama? Get your hands on Resurrection Walk.

  1. You simply can't go wrong with a Michael Connelly, Cathy. And I do like when Mickey and Harry work together. There's just something about it. At any rate, this definitely looks like it's more than up to his standards, so...something for me to look forward to.

  4. It's been far too long since I've have a Bosch or Haller book to read. And two for the price of one? I'm in!

  5. Can't wait for the library to get this book for me. I love Haller and with Bosch, even more fun for readers. And there is humor. Yes, wonder what Haller with plan for his life. Good news: Both Bosch and Lincoln Lawyer will be streaming again this year,although we have to wait months (sigh). I can rewatch the last season's episodes. Yes, both actors who play Bosch and Haller,and the one who plays Haller is superb and so handsome that I realize I'm still alive and alert.

  7. I just finished this very good book, but wonder what Michael Connelly has in store for Mickey Haller, who is a lawyer. But his future is uncertain. Wonder what is in Connelly's plan for him.
