DNA evidence seems to spring a child-killer from prison after many years, but defense attorney Mickey Haller jumps over to the prosecution to ensure that doesn't come to pass in Michael Connelly's The Reversal.
Connelly is perhaps best known for his novels featuring L.A. police detective Harry Bosch, in my mind one of the milestone mystery series of the late 20th Century. He has sometimes branched out to feature other characters in Bosch's world, and this is I think the third featuring Haller. At the end of the last novel Haller and Bosch were revealed to have a family relationship that ties the two characters closer together.
Connelly is equally adept at writing straight-up courtroom drama, and this one moves at a quick pace with solid plotting. Fans of Connelly will be satisfied to see appearances from Harry Bosch, FBI profiler Rachel Walling, and other characters seen previously.
I checked this one out from the Farmland Public Library in Farmland, Indiana and would have consumed it in a single day if I had a day free to do so.
