The Brass Verdict (TV tie-in): The inspiration for The Lincoln Lawyer on Netflix

Things are finally looking up for the Lincoln Lawyer, Mickey Haller. After two years of wrong turns, he is back in the courtroom. When Hollywood lawyer Jerry Vincent dies, Haller unexpectedly inherits all Vincent’s clients, putting his stalled career back on track at a stroke.

Now he’s defending a high-profile and potentially lucrative murder case with a trial that promises big fees and an even bigger place in the media spotlight - but there’s a problem: Detective Harry Bosch is determined to find Vincent’s killer, and he is not opposed to using Haller as bait. He’s also convinced that the killer is one of Vincent’s clients … and that Haller may be his next target.

As danger mounts and the stakes rise, these two loners realise their only choice is to work together.
