The Fifth Witness by Michael Connelly
I love a good courtroom thriller and The Fifth Witness by Michael Connelly nicely fills the bill.
Defense attorney Mickey Haller (of Lincoln Lawyer fame) is feeling the effects of the bad economy and has expanded into foreclosure cases. And that's how he meets Lisa Trammel, a woman who is running a very public campaign against the bank trying to take her house. When one of the bankers is found murdered, Lisa becomes the prime suspect, and Mickey is back in the criminal law business.
Lisa is annoying and Mickey is not even convinced that she's innocent. But he dives into the case, trying to come up with an alternative suspect and scenario that will save his client. With all its twists and turns, The Fifth Witness is sure to keep you up way too late at night.
