Summary
Longtime defense attorney Mickey Haller
is recruited to change stripes and prosecute the high-profile
retrial of a brutal child murder. After 24 years in prison,
convicted killer Jason Jessup has been exonerated by new DNA
evidence. Haller is convinced Jessup is guilty, and he takes
the case on the condition that he gets to choose his
investigator, LAPD Detective Harry Bosch.
Together, Bosch and Haller set off on a case fraught with
political and personal danger. Opposing them is Jessup, now out
on bail, a defense attorney who excels at manipulating the
media, and a runaway eyewitness reluctant to testify after so
many years.
With the odds and the evidence against them, Bosch and
Haller must nail a sadistic killer once and for all. If Bosch
is sure of anything, it is that Jason Jessup plans to kill
again.
