Summary THE WORLDWIDE #1 BESTSELLER BEHIND NETFLIX'S THE LINCOLN LAWYER
THE PATH TO JUSTICE CAN BE PAVED WITH LIES
Defense attorney Mickey Haller - The Lincoln Lawyer - rides the wave of freeing a wrongfully convicted man from prison.
Inundated with pleas from incarcerated people claiming innocence, Haller enlists the help of ex-LAPD detective Harry Bosch to find the next case which could result in a resurrection walk.
When Bosch finds a needle in the haystack - a woman imprisoned for murdering her husband, a sheriff's deputy - they discover evidence that doesn't add up, and a department pushed for quick closure in the killing of one of its own.
But is this rushed justice - or something more sinister?
As they face a David versus Goliath court battle, the secrets which could lead to an innocent woman walking free could also mark the end of the Haller-Bosch dream team. . .
A delicious, and somewhat drunken, dinner party segues into a murder mystery game created by the hostess. However, the parlour game may hold clues about the dark truths hiding just under the surface of this genteel gathering...
As suspects, clues and red herrings are sifted - it seems one of the guests has an unfair advantage: John Rebus, an ex-detective who used to do this for a living.

A small town.

The victim is Athol Hasluck, member of one of the seven dynasties who have controlled every slice of bountiful land in this modern-day Eden for generations.
But this is not an isolated incident. Someone is targeting the landed aristocracy of this quiet paradise in the desert. Secrets stretching back decades are rising to the surface at last - but the question remains, who stands to gain most from their demise?
Can Ivan and Nell track down a killer before the guilt at the heart of these seven families takes the entire town down with it?

I am currently reading the recent autobio of Barry Hearn, very good it is too, he's extremely open & candid.
Anyway, I thought of you last night while reading the chapter on the hard times he had getting snooker sponsors during the recession in the '80's.
One year, he managed to get StormSeal to sponsor the World Championships at The Crucible for £600,000. Days before the World Champs started, StormSeal went busto (according to the book), & left Hearn in a big big hole.
I'm guessing you'll remember StormSeal? Think Hearn said it was run by two brothers from Manchester.
The oddity is after reading that I decided to look up the story of StormSeal's demise, & to my surprise there is still a Double Glazing/conservatory business around with that name. Did the original StormSeal survive, or did someone buy their name? Or is Barry telling porkies?
