Book Description

Release Date: Oct 5 2010 | Series: A Lincoln Lawyer Novel
Longtime defense attorney Mickey Haller is recruited to change stripes and prosecute the high-profile retrial of a brutal child murder. After 24 years in prison, convicted killer Jason Jessup has been exonerated by new DNA evidence. Haller is convinced Jessup is guilty, and he takes the case on the condition that he gets to choose his investigator, LAPD Detective Harry Bosch.

Together, Bosch and Haller set off on a case fraught with political and personal danger. Opposing them is Jessup, now out on bail, a defense attorney who excels at manipulating the media, and a runaway eyewitness reluctant to testify after so many years.

With the odds and the evidence against them, Bosch and Haller must nail a sadistic killer once and for all. If Bosch is sure of anything, it is that Jason Jessup plans to kill again.

2.0 out of 5 stars It doesn't work Oct 22 2010
By M. Sinclair
Format:Hardcover
This isn't the first time Connelly has paired Bosch up with the lead from one of his non-Bosch novels. I didn't much care for the results in the past, but here it fails completely. This time it's Bosch together with his half-brother Mickey Haller, who first showed up in Connelly's best book in years, The Lincoln Lawyer. This time also, the pairing is taken a step further, with alternating chapters featuring Haller (in the first person) and Bosch (in the third person).

The premise for the novel is straight-forward: a convicted child killer, in jail for 24 years, wins a new trial because of some DNA evidence. The DA decides to hire an independent prosecutor for the new trial in order to avoid any appearance of official impropriety, and settles on Haller for the job. Haller in turns recruits Bosch as his investigator.

And they're off! Uh...actually, they're not. Because of the format Connelly has chosen, what we get are short vignettes now of Haller, now of Bosch, with neither allowed to stretch out and run. Furthermore, these two have emerged as Connelly's two best characters and here it feels like they're both being short-changed. The main victim is Haller, who we've come to know as sly, devious, unsentimental, but also charming and resourceful - all in all, a great character. In The Reversal, however, he's operating out of an office instead of his town car, he's on the side of the angels instead of running his own ethically-challenged show...it feels like Connelly has taken paint thinner to his own guy.

And finally, no spoilers here but the ending is a mess.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great read - even the second time around April 28 2013
By Roy Mayer
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Wow - what a gripping novel. It was so real that I felt I was living the adventure right from the beginning to the gripping last page. It almost made me wish I'd become a lawyer - and that's saying a lot. I was sad to finish ... even the second time.
