A superb legal thriller that manages three final twists ...The labyrinthine workings of LA law, bribery and the machinations of the FBI all play a part in a scenario that soon has Mickey in fear of his life. The first line of THE BRASS VERDICT is 'everybody lies', so there are plenty of surprises. And, of course, as a writer of fiction, Connelly proves to be a brilliant liar
Mickey's back in this equally accomplished sequel ... the interplay between Haller and Bosch is as sparky as one could wish for ... So who will [Connelly] feature in his next book: Haller or Bosch? Or both? Who cares if the writing is as energetic as it is here
Connelly ratchets up the tension and delivers twist-filled coutroom scenes.
A courtroom drama with only one verdict: Connelly + Bosch + Haller = genius
One of Connelly's best ever books, this is an excellently plotted courtroom drama combined with a tense thriller
the real thrill of this compulsive procedural will be seeing the author's two greatest characters united for the first time
A riveting ride through the LA courthouse system
