Par Michael Connelly. 2023
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Michael Connelly: Lincoln Lawyer Mickey Haller enlists the help of his half-brother, Harry…
Bosch, to prove the innocence of a woman convicted of killing her husband. Defense attorney Mickey Haller is back, taking the long shot cases, where the chances of winning are one in a million. After getting a wrongfully convicted man out of prison, he is inundated with pleas from incarcerated people claiming innocence. He enlists his half brother, retired LAPD Detective Harry Bosch, to weed through the letters, knowing most claims will be false. Bosch pulls a needle from the haystack: a woman in prison for killing her husband, a sheriff's deputy, but who still maintains her innocence. Bosch reviews the case and sees elements that don't add up, and a sheriff's department intent on bringing quick justice in the killing of one of its own. Now Haller has an uphill battle in court, a David fighting Goliaths to vindicate his client. The path for both lawyer and investigator is fraught with danger from those who don't want the case reopened and will stop at nothing to keep the Haller-Bosch dream team from finding the truth. Packed with intrigue and courtroom drama, Resurrection Walk shows once again that Michael Connelly is "the most consistently superior living crime fiction author" ( South Florida Sun Sentinel)Cowboy wild (Four Corners Ranch #3)

up around Hunter McCloud, Elsie Garrett considers herself immune to his particular brand of cowboy. Her brother's best friend is too big, too broad, too everything for comfort. But when relationship-shy Elsie decides it's finally time for her to get some romantic experience, Hunter suddenly might be useful after all. Maybe he, with his many casual hookups, is the perfect cowboy to teach her how to flirt? Elsie is the best horse wrangler around, but Hunter can see she doesn't know anything about men—orphaned as a child and brought up by her brothers, she's so wild she's practically feral. But Hunter has always looked out for her, and he's not about to stop now. Until Hunter realizes he's playing with fire. Elsie might not understand the chemistry slowly building between them, but he does, and it's burning stronger and hotter than anything he's ever experienced. And when Elsie decides to act on it, Hunter knows that it could threaten to consume them both. In the bonus novella Her Wayward Cowboy, can a returning cowboy win back the love of the woman he left behind?
