Resurrection Walk is another compelling addition to the Lincoln Lawyer series created by Michael Connelly. As a special treat to his readers, Harry Bosch also gets plenty of pages to lend his expertise to Mickey Haller’s latest legal escapade.
Mickey Haller hires his half-brother, Harry Bosch, review a bunch of letters from convicted criminals claiming their innocence after he wins a major victory in court in which he was able to prove somoni’s innocence. Bosch finds a needle in the proverbial innocence with the case of a mother who is serving time for killing her ex-husband, who happens to be a sheriff’s deputy. Bosch has about forty years under his belt with LAPD, so he would know what to look for in a solid murder case. It doesn’t take long for the signs of a dangerous conspiracy to appear, and Bosch and Haller may have to fight for their lives as well as for the truth in a case of misplaced justice.
Connelly has created a pretty engaging plot here. Haller is as wily as ever in the courtroom. Bosch remains ever relentless when it comes to his hunt for the truth. Bosch doesn’t even let medical treatment for cancer to derail his investigation.
Even Renee Ballard shows up for a scene or two.
The story is a little outlandish, however Connelly does well enough on keeping my attention.
This isn’t the first time Haller and Bosch have collaborated on a case, but this one seems to be the best of those novels.
Anyway, the novel is another feather in Connelly’s cap, and I look forward to seeing what else is in store for his most popular protagonists.
It’s time to take a literary trip in the TARDIS with a Doctor Who double header under the umbrella title Sightseeing in Space presented by two writers, Steve Lyons and David Bailey, so that’s the next read.
