Product Description:
Things are finally looking up for defense attorney Mickey Haller. After two years of wrong turns, Haller is back in the courtroom. When Hollywood lawyer Jerry Vincent is murdered, Haller inherits his biggest case yet: the defense of Walter Elliott, a prominent studio executive accused of murdering his wife and her lover. But as Haller prepares for the case that could launch him into the big time, he learns that Vincent's killer may be coming for him next.
Enter Harry Bosch. Determined to find Vincent's killer, he is not opposed to using Haller as bait. But as danger mounts and the stakes rise, these two loners realize their only choice is to work together.
Bringing together Michael Connelly's two most popular characters, The Brass Verdictis sure to be his biggest book yet. (2008)

Rating:  - Brass Verdict
I thought the book was great! Started reading it and could not put it down.
Rating:  - The Brass Verdict
As usual, Michael Conneley offered a great read. His characters are well developed, and allow the reader to feel that the character is known to her or him. The plot was engaging, and kept me reading until the end. I am fairly new to Mr. Conneley's work, having read the Lincoln Lawyer earlier this year, and will now seek out other books written by this author.
Rating:  - Where's Harry?
The Brass Verdict was well written, as all of Connelly's novels are, in my opinion, but I felt a little deceived by the description of the book as a "Mickey Haller/Harry Bosch" vehicle. To me, Bosch's presence was so negligible that he might as well not have been written in at all. If you like the Mickey Haller character, you'll probably love the book. However, if you like Harry Bosch as much as I do, then I think you'll be as disappointed with this book as I was.
Rating: - Brilliant with Haller and Harry Bosch
Michael Connelly's 'The Brass Verdict' is, in my opinion, an amazing feat. First, let me confess that I am not a huge fan of 'lawyer' novels. That aside, I read Connelly's 'The Lincoln Lawyer' last year and was completely bowled over. With super tight plotting and no obscure judicial rumblings, Connelly deftly sliced and diced his way through a gripping tale. Now with his new book, 'The Brass Verdict', I am standing up cheering for more... yeah, you heard right. And I'm the reader who doesn't like ... Read More
Rating: - Great read, BUT.......
I was on a "pre-release" order list for this and three other books. Imagine how disappointed I was to find all four books on the retail bookshelves more than a week before I received my copies. Further, they were priced below (Sams/Costco) what I had paid through Amazon. Lesson learned!
