Michael Connelly always delivers. In this outing, he figured out a way to put Mickey Haller's back all the way up against the wall, but Haller had the Law of Innocence on his side, and that's all that he needed.

This was a slightly atypical Haller outing. The mystery was still there. The elaborate descriptions of the courtroom ballet was still there. But, Connelly was able to keep the book topical by occasionally touching on the start of the growing COVID-19 pandemic, which would have been occurring at the same time in the world of the novel. It was deftly done, and well done.

Solid stuff from Connelly. Very enjoyable.
