Title: The Reversal (Harry Bosch book #16)
Author/website: Michael Connelly
Publisher: Little Brown
Publication date & page count: October ’10 & 389 pages
Longtime defense attorney Mickey Haller is recruited to change stripes and prosecute the high-profile retrial of a brutal child murder. After 24 years in prison, convicted killer Jason Jessup has been exonerated by new DNA evidence. Haller is convinced Jessup is guilty, and he takes the case on the condition that he gets to choose his investigator, LAPD Detective Harry Bosch.
Together, Bosch and Haller set off on a case fraught with political and personal danger. Opposing them is Jessup, now out on bail, a defense attorney who excels at manipulating the media, and a runaway eyewitness reluctant to testify after so many years.
With the odds and the evidence against them, Bosch and Haller must nail a sadistic killer once and for all. If Bosch is sure of anything, it is that Jason Jessup plans to kill again.

Both my husband and I are excited about this one.
HEY NICE NEW LOOK! Now don’t say it hasn’t change because it has in a BIG BETTER WAY! Love the moving vlog at the top of the page … very mysterious and classy!
Congrats on the new look!
And yes hope the Reversal lives up to your expectation
Thank you. I’m glad you enjoy the new look. I wanted a theme that played up the genres I read. A few tweaks are coming but as my work week has started they’ll be coming soon.
Sounds good to me
Never read his books but this sounds good!
