Product Information

Librarian Note: There is more than one author in the Goodreads' database with this name. See this thread for more information. the jury Judy character was really his way of forcing his political opinion on unsuspecting readers.

An easy five stars, and one of my favorite books this year — this book has heart, gravity and import. You will learn and feel as you read about the wrongful accusation against a character you know and love. It is also amazing, and equally compelling, how Connelly worked the pandemic into the plot. Highly recommended to both new readers and Connelly fans. Inevitably, the plot and Haller's defense will both take a lot of interesting twists and turns. As usual in a Michael Connelly novel, the action is very propulsive, pulling the reader along and making this one, at least, stay up deep into the night to finish the novel. Connelly is best known for his great police procedurals, but he's proved that he has the chops to write great legal thrillers as well. The court scenes are very good, and all the legal maneuvering sounds totally credible.Como todo lo de Michael Connelly lo traducen tarde o temprano, espero que The Law of Innocence, no tardará demasiado. Mientras, os la recomiendo encarecidamente, para que estéis preparados para leerla en cuanto la traduzcan.

Ves cómo piensa, cómo se anticipa al fiscal o a los acusados a los que defiende, que en alguna ocasión, se merecen la cárcel, pero siempre luchando por conseguir el veredicto de no culpable.

Los procedimientos legales son impecables, pero lo que más llama la atención en todas las novelas es la mente de Haller. One night after leaving a party celebrating his latest courtroom triumph, Haller (who is completely sober) is pulled over by a traffic cop. He knows he hasn't violated any laws, but when the cop walks him around to the rear of the car, he sees that his rear license plate has mysteriously gone missing--hence the traffic stop. When the cop sees something dripping from the trunk, he opens the trunk and discovers the body of one of Haller's former clients who has been shot to death, apparently in the trunk. But a great deal of the narrative is devoted to the issue of finding the actual killer, and fans of the series will be delighted to know that biker Cisco, Haller’s main investigator, plays his part (though he isn’t quite as evident here as in some of the other books). Harry Bosch also makes an appearance, but sadly he is consigned to the sidelines as a mere bit player – although his contribution to the cause at hand is, of course, incisive and important.

The outcome of the trial not only has the power to determine Haller’s fate but also to expose the dark underbelly of the city’s power players. Working with a co-counsel he knows well, Haller must prove his innocence to a panel of jurors who appear eager to hear what the state has to say. It’s sure to be a cutthroat trial where innocence will come second to the ability to spin tales. Haller has everything to lose as he finds himself in the hot seat, somewhere he’s not used to sitting. En este caso no tiene ninguna duda de la inocencia del acusado, por supuesto. Y luchará por conseguir no el veredicto de no culpable sino ser exculpado por inocente. There’s lots of legal meat here in addition to the mystery aspect. It worked perfectly to keep my interest (no mean feat these days). I tore through this book in less than two days. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an engrossing legal thriller. Harry Bosch and the Lincoln Lawyer team up to exonerate a woman who’s already served five years for killing her ex-husband.Por favor, que se traduzca pronto al castellano. Me dan igual las ideas políticas de Connelly, todo el mundo tiene derecho a expresarlas cuando le convenga. El caso es que la trama es estupenda y la resolución también. Connelly keeps things interesting with a slew of other characters, some of whom series fans will know well, peppered throughout the narrative. As with many of his novels, Connelly has crafted the perfect mix of good and bad people to push the story along, all connected to the trial in some form. There are some great subplots that emerge in this novel, utilising these supporting characters to offer poignant angles Haller himself could not develop alone. With a cameo appearance by Harry Bosch, fans of that series get a little dose of their favourite retired LAPD detective.

Se enfrenta a una fiscal, desde mi punto de vista, un poco histérica y con una fijación de su culpabilidad que no es normal. Pero, cuando lo necesita, su ex mujer, que también es fiscal, pide la excedencia para ayudarlo.He faces an uphill battle as he fights against a system that often favors the prosecution. So, he must find a way to convince the jury of his innocence. Como ya he reseñado en alguna ocasión el otro gran autor, desde mi punto de vista, de este tipo de novelas, es Steve Cavanagh y su protagonista Eddie Flynn. De éste, que yo sepa, sólo han traducido una.
