Mickey Haller is a Lincoln Lawyer, a criminal defense attorney who operates out of the backseat of his Lincoln Town Car, traveling between the far-flung courthouses of Los Angeles to defend clients of every kind.

The heroes of his Lives were the great men of antiquity, often greatly flawed, but with tragic depth and epic stature.
