Resurrection Walk by Michael Connelly is Lincoln Lawyer novel #7. The Lincoln Lawyer is Michael "Mickey" Haller. His office is his Lincoln Navigator. He is assisted by his half-brother, ex-LAPD detective, Hieronymus "Harry" Bosch. Their case is Lucinda Sanz, 33, in prison for shooting her ex-husband. She says she is innocent. The resurrection walk is when someone like Lucinda has their conviction vacated and they walk free. This excellent legal thriller is a mix of legal procedure and science, such as AI, DNA testing, and cell phone tracking. The book is a page-turner after a slow start (do not lose faith).
The historical background for this book is the FBI investigation of LAPD gangs (reference Ramparts scandal, late 1990s).
Some of the subplots include: Harry’s cancer treatment, Lucinda’s 13-year-old son being at risk for joining a gang, the incompetence of Lucinda’s original lawyer, Frank “second place” Silver, Haller’s conflict with his ex-wife prosecuting attorney Maggie McPherson, and the brilliance of forensic scientist Shami Arslanian (MIT, MS Chem E; John Jay College, PhD Criminology; Harvard, BS Engineering; and Berklee College, BA Music).
