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.

Sandy, must be a newer book 'cause I've not heard of it before. I think I've only ever read one Haller & Bosch story. Don't recall much about it except that Haller allegedly dies of a heart attack on his boat whilst investigating some sort of crime. Bosch continues the investigation & also looks into Haller's death.
I'm on the last pages of a Lee Child story, his 1st novel: Killing Floor. And since you're back I'll resume posting about my future reads.

I know I've read "Killing Floor," but don't remember the story.
Also, I believe I've read every Haller and Bosch story, but don't recall one in which "Haller allegedly dies of a heart attack on his boat." If you remember the title of that one, please let me know.
btw: This has been fun - returning to the forum. I really missed 'youse guys." Reminds me of a song with the lyric, "Just remember, whatever it is you've lost, may someday once again be found."

Sandy, the Killing Floor's story is about a gang of officials in a small town counterfeiting money. In it Bosch's brother is murdered. I was wrong about the Bosch story with Haller in it. It wasn't him but rather Terry McCaleb. It's called Bloodwork. Yeah, it's fun to have you back & I surely missed you.
