Things are finally looking up for Mickey Haller. After a hard two years surviving a serious injury and the painkiller addiction that followed, Haller is back in the courtroom, rebuilding his career as a defense attorney. But matters are about to take a surprising—and dangerous—turn. When his famed former colleague Jerry Vincent is murdered, Haller inherits his case files, which includes the high-profile defense of Walter Elliot, a prominent studio executive accused of murdering his wife and her lover. But as Haller prepares for the case that could launch him into the big time, he learns that Vincent’s killer may be coming for him next. Enter LAPD detective Hieronymus “Harry” Bosch. Determined to find Vincent’s killer, Bosch will do whatever it takes to solve the case, even if it means using Haller as bait. As danger mounts and the stakes rise, these two loners realize that their only choice is to work as a team. Bringing together two of Connelly’s most beloved characters, The Brass Verdict is the most explosive novel yet by the author who has been called "infernally ingenious" (The New York Times) and “the top rank of a new generation of crime writers" (The Los Angeles Times).

(Book 20 in the Butch Karp and Marlene Ciampi series) (2008) In this riveting new legal thriller, the twentieth in the bestselling series, Manhattan D. A. Roger "Butch" Karp and his crime-fighting crew must race against the clock to stop a malicious terrorist plot that could change the course of history. Escape is a classic encounter between the forces of good and evil in human form that asks, and answers, questions of how to deal with supposedly "God-inspired" acts of murder and mayhem. In a riveting trial of garish courtroom confrontations, newly elected New York District Attorney Karp battles the "insanity of the insanity defense," as he tries to make Jessica Campbell, a rabble-rousing political science professor at NYU, pay for the murder of her three children. While Campbell claims that God told her to "send her three children to Him," it is up to Karp to prove that she was fully aware of the nature and consequences of her actions. Meanwhile, an Islamic terrorist, The Sheik, and his homegrown suicidal "jihadis" hatch a plan, a spectacular outrage to occur in Manhattan's heartland, that if successful could destroy the economy of the United States and the world. Standing between the terrorist Sheik and his diabolical scheme are Butch's wife, Marlene Ciampi, a private detective focused on protecting women from abusers; the couple's daughter, Lucy, who has joined a secretive anti-terrorist organization; and a wonderfully eccentric--but effective--group of crime fighters as has ever graced the pages of a book.
