Publisher's summary

In this #1 New York Times bestselling thriller, after taking on a foreclosure case, defense attorney Mickey Haller fights to prove his client’s innocence—but first he must follow a trail of black market evidence to its sinister end

Mickey Haller has fallen on tough times. He expands his business into foreclosure defense, only to see one of his clients accused of killing the banker she blames for trying to take away her home.

Mickey puts his team into high gear to exonerate Lisa Trammel, even though the evidence and his own suspicions tell him his client is guilty. Soon after he learns that the victim had black market dealings of his own, Haller is assaulted, too—and he's certain he's on the right trail.

Despite the danger and uncertainty, Haller mounts the best defense of his career in a trial where the last surprise comes after the verdict is in. Connelly proves again why he "may very well be the best novelist working in the United States today" (San Francisco Chronicle).

Michael Connelly Does It Again

several years ago I stumbled on a Michael Connelly audiobook in the library. since I love legal dramas I grabbed it and headed home. I hadn't put 2 and 2 together yet as to who the author actually was. Since then I listen to his books as soon as I get them. The Fifth Witness is another great book. I had to draw it out a bit because I tend to get bummed out when I finish a book too quickly. the longer it takes the more realistic it feels.
chears!!! Mr. Connelly. I totally enjoyed your book.

Another Great Performance!

Another great story with an unpredictable ending. If you like courtroom thrillers, this is a good one. Peter Giles does an amazing job reading and brings it alive!
