When defence attorney Mickey Haller is pulled over by police, the body of a client is discovered in the trunk of his Lincoln.

Charged with murder and unable to make the exorbitant $5 million bail, Haller knows he's been framed and elects to defend himself. But that isn't so easy from a cell in the Twin Towers Jail in downtown Los Angeles - as an officer of the court, he's an instant target.

With the help of a handpicked team, including his half-brother Harry Bosch, Mickey races time to figure out who has plotted to destroy his life and why.

It's one thing to prove the guilt of another, but can the Lincoln Lawyer prove his own innocence?
