In the third book of the Mickey Haller series, defense attorney Mickey Haller is given an unusual opportunity—this time, he is asked to prosecute a case instead of defending it. The Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office recruits him as an independent special prosecutor to retry Jason Jessup, a convicted child murderer who has just been released after new DNA evidence casts doubt on his conviction.
Although Haller is known for defending criminals, he agrees to take the case to ensure that Jessup doesn’t walk free if he is truly guilty. He assembles a team, including his ex-wife Maggie McPherson, a tough prosecutor, and Detective Harry Bosch, who leads the reinvestigation. As they dig into the case, Bosch uncovers disturbing new evidence, and Haller realizes that Jessup may be even more dangerous than anyone imagined.
As the trial begins, Jessup plays the system masterfully, manipulating the media and the public while Haller fights to keep the case from falling apart. But when Jessup vanishes, the legal battle turns into a race against time to prevent him from striking again.
With courtroom tension, investigative suspense, and gripping twists, The Reversal is a fast-paced legal thriller that tests Mickey Haller’s skills, morality, and ability to fight for justice from the other side of the courtroom.
