The fifth witness
(Book)

Includes excerpt from the author's The wrong side of goodbye.

"Mickey Haller has fallen on tough times. Criminal defense in Los Angeles has virtually dried up, and he has had to expand his business into foreclosure defense. But just when Mickey thinks criminal court is in his rearview mirror, one of his new clients is accused of killing the banker she blames for trying to take away her home. For Mickey, it's back to what he does best. He puts his team into high gear to exonerate Lisa Trammel, despite what seems to be a mountain of evidence against her and his suspicions that his client is guilty. His digging reveals that the murdered banker was involved in dirty dealings of his own. After two professional thugs but Mickey in the hospital, he knows he's on the right trail. Now, despite the growing danger, the lawyer is ready to mount the best defense of his career." -- Page [4] cover.
