Publisher's summary

The Lincoln Lawyer: Booktrack Edition adds an immersive musical soundtrack to your audiobook listening experience! *

The best-selling legal thriller - and CBS TV series - has charismatic defense attorney Mickey Haller taking on a slam-dunk court case involving a Beverly Hills playboy - but as it spirals into a nightmare, he finds himself in a fight for his life.

Mickey Haller is a Lincoln Lawyer, a criminal defense attorney who operates out of the backseat of his Lincoln Town Car, traveling between the far-flung courthouses of Los Angeles to defend clients of every kind. Bikers, con artists, drunk drivers, drug dealers - they're all on Mickey Haller's client list. For him, the law is rarely about guilt or innocence; it's about negotiation and manipulation. Sometimes it's even about justice. A Beverly Hills playboy arrested for attacking a woman he picked up in a bar chooses Haller to defend him, and Mickey has his first high-paying client in years. It is a defense attorney's dream, what they call a franchise case. And as the evidence stacks up, Haller comes to believe this may be the easiest case of his career. Then someone close to him is murdered, and Haller discovers that his search for innocence has brought him face-to-face with evil as pure as a flame. To escape without being burned, he must deploy every tactic, feint, and instinct in his arsenal - this time to save his own life.

*Booktrack is an immersive format that pairs traditional audiobook narration to complementary music.

Gently playing in the background, the music never overpowers or distracts from the narration, so listeners can enjoy every minute. When you purchase this Booktrack edition, you receive the exact narration as the traditional audiobook available, with the addition of music throughout.

Captivating

Outstanding page-turner, excellently performed. Could not put it down. Far richer than the movie.

Great Book

I loved the whole book. It keeps you spell bound all the way through. I recommend this book to anyone.
For me it gets 5 stars all the way around.

awesome!

a friend recommended that I read this a while ago and I definitely remember reading it before but clearly didn't remember the whole story. what an awesome read and apparently they made a movie out of it as well I'll have to check out the movie. thrilling and suspenseful

Book track Version Amazes

Second time reading this book. It is still a page turner. I Highly recommend the Booktrack version and the “soundtrack”. Made me research the music and listen to material I have not checked out before.

Sit down and be prepared.

WOW this was a edge of your seat story. It was action packed and the background music helped to intensify to a greater level. I really enjoyed listening to this book.

Good story. Soundtrack overdone.

Good not great story. Some predicaments by the lawyer should never have happened. I could see most of the plot turns but not all so I’ll say a good story overall. The constant soundtrack was overdone. A little intro music for the start of a chapter would be fine but this was too much and too loud. The soundtrack was a distraction.

Very well plotted out, easy listen

Great road story (Oregon to Texas), solid plot, twist and turns from the start to finish. The characters flow, the end is not where you thought and it keeps you thinking. Enjoy

Captivating

Expertly written with wit and suspense. Many captivating plot twists. It was difficult to stop listening when it was time to do other things.

Great book

This book kept you on the edge of my seat. Will definitely listen to more books by Michael Connelly.

Great book

Great story and great narration. Definitely worth the read/listen, and hard to put down.
I found the background music way too much- too distracting. Perhaps a little would have been ok.
