In tough times, crime is one of the few things that still pays, but even criminals are having to make cut-backs. So for defence lawyer Mickey Haller, most of his new business is not about keeping people out of jail; it's about keeping a roof over their heads as the foreclosure business is booming.

Lisa Trammel has been a client of Mickey's for eight months, and so far he's stopped the bank from taking her house. But now the bank's CEO has been found beaten to death - and Lisa is about to be indicted for murder...

Another intriguing legal story featuring the defence lawyer, Mickey Haller, this time defending people who face having their homes repossessed because of the economic downturn and some shady dealings in corporate finance, so very topical. What I really enjoy in the court battles is the author's way of describing why the legal representatives on both sides act the way they do, their motives and the thinking behind their various moves. By the end of this story we pick up hints that Mickey is about to take a big step in both his legal and personal life. Roll on the next book in this series!

Mickey Haller goes from strength to strength
