Mickey Haller has lived his whole professional life in fear that, in the face of innocence, he would fail to see it. But evil was what he ought to have been keeping an eye out for.
Haller practises criminal defence law out of the back seat of his Lincoln Town Car, earning him the moniker "the Lincoln Lawyer." He travels to represent clients of all stripes between the several courthouses located across Los Angeles. Mickey Haller's client list includes drug traffickers, drunk drivers, bikers, and scam artists. For him, the law primarily concerns itself with bargaining and manipulation rather than guilt or innocence. Justice is even a factor at times.
Mickey has his first high-paying client in years when a Beverly Hills playboy who was imprisoned for assaulting a lady he met at a bar decides to hire Haller as his attorney. This kind of lawsuit, known as a franchise case, is a defence attorney's paradise. Furthermore, Haller starts to think that this could be the simplest case of his career as the evidence grows.
After a murder occurs in his family, Haller realises that his quest for innocence has led him to confront pure evil like a flame. He has to use every trick, deception, and instinct in his toolbox to get away without being burnt, but this time it's to save his own life.
