Resurrection Walk (Lincoln Lawyer Book 7)

Defense attorney Mickey Haller returns to take on long-shot cases with minimal chances of success. After securing the release of a wrongfully convicted man, he is flooded with letters from incarcerated people claiming innocence. He asks his half-brother, retired LAPD Detective Harry Bosch, to review the cases and separate credible claims from false ones. Bosch identifies a promising lead: a woman imprisoned for killing her husband, a sheriff's deputy, who maintains her innocence. Upon reviewing the case, Bosch discovers inconsistencies and evidence of the sheriff's department prioritizing a quick resolution over thorough investigation. Haller faces a difficult legal battle to exonerate his client. Both lawyer and investigator encounter opposition from those invested in keeping the case closed, who will go to great lengths to prevent them from uncovering the truth. The novel combines courtroom drama with investigation as Haller and Bosch work to prove the woman's innocence.
