The Reversal includes characters from previous books by this author. I didn't know that when I began this book and I don't think it really mattered! It was a well-written mystery. Mickey Haller is a defense attorney except for this one time! He is persuaded to be a special prosecutor in a case involving Jason Jessup. Jessup has been in jail for 24 years after being convicted of killing a child. Based on DNA evidence Jessup is granted a new trial. The State is so certain that Jessup is guilty they are willing to foot the bill for a new trial. Mickey says he will do it if he can use his own investigator and choose his second chair (who happens to be his ex-wife). This book is part investigation and part trial. It was intriguing and well-paced.
