The Reversal

A Case Reopened

When convicted child murderer Jason Jessup is granted a retrial after new DNA evidence emerges, defense attorney Mickey Haller finds himself thrust into the spotlight of a battle that will test every ounce of his legal prowess. Known as the “Lincoln Lawyer” for conducting business from the backseat of his sleek Lincoln Town Car, Haller assembles an unlikely team—legendary detective Harry Bosch, forensic expert Dr. Lucy Soto, and a cadre of resourceful investigators—to peel back layers of evidence and challenge assumptions that once seemed irrefutable. As courtroom doors swing open on the most controversial case of Haller’s career, the city of Los Angeles holds its breath, divided between those clamoring for justice and those demanding a verdict beyond doubt.

Where Justice Collides with Truth

Under the harsh glare of courtroom lights, every witness testimony and shredded document becomes a potential turning point. Haller navigates churning legal waters—opposing a ruthless prosecutor armed with political ambition and public outrage—while Bosch pursues leads in the darker corners of the city, uncovering witnesses who vanished and clues that point toward a far more sinister conspiracy. Twist upon twist arises as Haller’s defense strategy must adapt in real time: a hidden videotape, an overlooked lab report, and a confession whispered in a midnight interrogation room. In this high-stakes drama, the line between guilt and innocence blurs, forcing each member of the team to confront their own beliefs about right, wrong, and the elusive nature of truth.

Race Against Time in the Courtroom

With the retrial rapidly approaching its climax, Haller and Bosch must synchronize their efforts to expose fatal flaws in the prosecution’s case before the jury renders a decision that could condemn an innocent man—or allow a killer to walk free. As media frenzy intensifies and personal pressures mount, loyalties are tested and reputations hang in the balance. In a breathtaking finale that unfolds on the courthouse steps and beyond, each revelation carries the weight of lives forever altered by the verdict.
