Michael Connelly

Mickey Haller, the Lincoln Lawyer, is back with a case against an AI company whose product may have been responsible for the murder of a young girl. Representing the victim’s family, Mickey’s case explores the mostly unregulated and exploding AI business and the lack of training guardrails. Along the way he joins up with a journalist, Jack McEvoy (The Poet), who wants to be a fly on the wall during the trial in order to write a book about it.
