THE REVERSAL by Michael Connelly

Finished Mo 2/14/11
In this exciting novel Connelly casts two of his most popular characters on the same case. Half brothers, Mickey Haller(defense lawyer and champion of the down-trodden)and Harry Bosch(hard-nosed LAPD detective)unite to prevent a particularly vicious kidnapper and child molester from being exonerated. Jason Jessup has been awarded a new trial after serving twenty-four years of his sentence when genetic material found at the scene has finally been analysed thanks to findings by the Genetic Justice Project. With Bosh in the 'field', and Haller 'in the court room' the reader gets the best of both worlds in crime fiction. I think the ending was a bit of a let down, but, overall, it's a real page turner.
