The Fifth Witness by Michael ConnellyMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Mickey Haller (The Lincoln Lawyer) 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.
Really enjoyed this. If you're a Grisham fan or like legal thrillers you will too. Good twist at the end.

I have read a couple of Connelly's books and enjoyed them. It's been a while though. Thanks for the review!
