For once, he may be defending a client who is actually innocent. It's a franchise case and he's sure it will be a slam dunk in the courtroom. But when a Beverly Hills rich boy is arrested for brutally beating a woman Haller has his first high paying client in years. Haller is immediately charged with murder but can’t post the exorbitant 5 million bail slapped on him by a vindictive judge.

On the night he celebrates a big win, defense attorney Mickey Haller is pulled over by police, who find the body of a former client in the trunk of his Lincoln. It's no wonder that he is despised by cops, prosecutors, and even some of his own clients.

Mickey Haller has spent all his professional life afraid that he wouldn't recognize innocence if it stood in front of him.
