PRISON GATE LAWYER (Power and Law)

The book tells the story of Michael Haller, a lawyer unlike any other. His office is the backseat of a Lincoln sedan. Haller travels Los Angeles visiting courts and sniffing out new opportunities to raise his fees. His name is plastered in the Yellow Pages, his phone number is taped to the seats of buses in the city's most dangerous areas. Haller defends bikers, prostitutes, and drug dealers—clients who guarantee him low fees, mostly paid off through small jobs. When Michael Haller is chosen to defend Louis Roulet, a young Beverly Hills playboy arrested for assault and attempted rape of prostitute Regina Campo, he believes he has the easiest and most lucrative case of his career. But the death of someone close to him leads him to confront evil in its most terrifying form.
