ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

“The Fifth Witness” by Michael Connelly follows defense attorney Mickey Haller as he represents Lisa Trammel, a woman accused of murdering a senior mortgage banker, Mitchell Bondurant. Haller, known for handling foreclosure cases, delves into a complex investigation, uncovering financial corruption and a deep connection between Bondurant’s bank and the foreclosure crisis. As the trial progresses, Mickey must navigate legal ethics, moral dilemmas, and personal challenges while defending a client who may not be as innocent as she appears. The book explores themes of justice, ethics, and the human cost of the financial collapse.
