The Law of Innocence, Connelly - B+

             This particular year, the author has chosen to return with the sixth in the Lincoln Law series featuring Mickey Haller. Bosch does have a small role helping his half brother. The book is unnerving because a sword of Damocles hangs over Mickey's head right up to the final pages. He is framed for a murder and the prosecution is loaded for bear with a chance to put away a prominent member of the defense bar. He's confined to the local prison where he is at risk, starving and beaten half to death. He and his team find it difficult to find the third party perpetrator who would show his innocence. There is a sense of impending doom throughout. As always, a thorough background on LA is prominent, as is a deep dive into the criminal justice system. And as usual, another great one from Michael Connelly.
