Join us for an exciting evening with author and executive producer Michael Connelly as he sits down with author and journalist Douglas Preston to discuss his latest novel in the Lincoln Lawyer series, The Law of Innocence.

For the first time since The Gods of Guilt, defense attorney Mickey Haller is in his element in the courtroom in Michael Connelly’s The Law of Innocence. But this time, the underdog client Mickey must defend is himself. Yes, the Lincoln Lawyer has been charged with murder after police find the body of a former client in his trunk. Unable to make his exorbitant bail, Haller must build his own defense from behind bars.
