Mickey Haller, the Lincoln Lawyer, has moved on from the seedy world of criminal defense and is now practicing civil law. He represents a grieving mother who is suing Tidalwaiv, an AI company that created an AI companion which encouraged a sixteen-year-old boy to kill her daughter. Tidalwaiv is awaiting a major Wall Street buyout and would prefer the case go away. Unbeknownst to their lawyers, the company intimidates and surveils witnesses, jury members, and Mickey’s staff. The trial goes back and forth with each side making its case. Tidalwaiv keeps upping the settlement offer but refuses to apologize. When Mick puts their coder on the stand, their case goes completely sideways, and the good guys win.
Earlier this year, the author introduced a new LAPD member, Det. Stillwell, on Catalina Island. Connelly published a Renée Ballard novel a year ago, and now the first Lincoln Lawyer book in years. I suspect we’ve seen the last of Harry Bosch.
