| Longtime defense attorney Mickey Haller is recruited to change stripes and prosecute the high-profile retrial of a brutal child murder. Together Haller and LAPD Detective Harry Bosch set off on a case fraught with political and personal danger. |
Annotation:
When DNA evidence exonerates a dangerous child murderer, LAPD detective Harry Bosch has another knuckle-whitening case on his hands. Mickey Haller normally works a defense attorney, but he takes the opposite side of the aisle when Jason Jessup is released on bail after 24 years in the pen. Haller is convinced of Jessup's guilt, but he needs the help of LA's best detective to gather enough evidence to put this dangerous man back behind bars. Haller is also certain that Jessup will strike again, but even this whip-smart attorney could not guess how brutally--and how close to home--the madman will strike.

Praise
"Reading this book is like watching a master craftsman, slowly and carefully, brick by brick, build something that holds together exquisitely, form and function in perfect alignment." (starred review)

"THE REVERSAL, Connelly's new novel, might be his best: a crackling-good read, smart and emotionally satisfying. It manages to condense decades of time and reams of information into a compelling narrative that adeptly explores various elements of L.A.'s own version of what passes as a criminal justice system."

"Mr. Connelly, a former journalist, is a master of mixing realistic details of police work and courtroom procedure with the private feelings and personal lives of his protagonists, and of building suspense even as he evokes the somber poetry inherent in battling the dark side."
