Michael
Connelly - The Law Of Innocence |
|
Lincoln
Lawyer Mickey Haller must defend himself against murder
charges in the heart-stopping new thriller from #1 New
York Times bestselling author Michael Connelly.
On the night he celebrates a big win, defense attorney
Mickey Haller is pulled over by police, who find the
body of a former client in the trunk of his Lincoln.
Haller is immediately charged with murder but can’t
post the exorbitant $5 million bail slapped on him by
a vindictive judge.
Mickey elects to represent himself and is forced to
mount his defense from his jail cell in the Twin Towers
Correctional Center in downtown Los Angeles. All the
while he needs to look over his shoulder—as an
officer of the court he is an instant target, and he
makes few friends when he reveals a corruption plot
within the jail.
But the bigger plot is the one against him. Haller knows
he’s been framed, whether by a new enemy or an
old one. As his trusted team, including his half-brother,
Harry Bosch, investigates, Haller must use all his skills
in the courtroom to counter the damning evidence against
him.
Even if he can obtain a not-guilty verdict, Mickey understands
that it won’t be enough. In order to be truly
exonerated, he must find out who really committed the
murder and why. That is the law of innocence.

Millions
of stolen, untraceable bank notes lie untouched in an
old Victorian cottage, the hidden legacy of the Dolly
Rawlins and her widows.
But the millions are not forgotten. Released from prison,
Esther Freeman is determined to retrieve the money.
And so too is Mike Withey, Shirley Miller's brother
and Audrey's son.
When a fire breaks out at the derelict cottage, with
a badly charred body inside along with what looks like
thousands of burnt bank notes, it attracts the attention
of the police and one young detective in particular,
Jack Warr.
Jack's investigation into the fire, and the burnt body
inside, coincide with an investigation into his own
past. Adopted at birth, Jack discovers his birth father
may have been none other than Harry Rawlins, a renowned
criminal.
As he finds out the truth about his own identity, Jack
finds himself becoming increasingly aggressive, stopping
at nothing to find the truth - including breaking the
law himself.

Roberts- The Awakening |
|
In
the realm of Talamh, a teenage warrior named Keegan
emerges from a lake holding a sword—representing
both power and the terrifying responsibility to protect
the Fey. In another realm known as Philadelphia, a young
woman has just discovered she possesses a treasure of
her own…
When Breen Kelly was a girl, her father would tell her
stories of magical places. Now she’s an anxious
twentysomething mired in student debt and working a
job she hates. But one day she stumbles upon a shocking
discovery: her mother has been hiding an investment
account in her name. It has been funded by her long-lost
father—and it’s worth nearly four million
dollars.
This newfound fortune would be life-changing for anyone.
But little does Breen know that when she uses some of
the money to journey to Ireland, it will unlock mysteries
she couldn’t have imagined. Here, she will begin
to understand why she kept seeing that silver-haired,
elusive man, why she imagined his voice in her head
saying Come home, Breen Siobhan. It’s time you
came home. Why she dreamed of dragons. And where her
true destiny lies—through a portal in Galway that
takes her to a land of faeries and mermaids, to a man
named Keegan, and to the courage in her own heart that
will guide her through a powerful, dangerous destiny…
