The fourth book in the Mickey Haller series.

Connelly's compelling fourth legal thriller featuring Mickey Haller
(after Reversal) finds the maverick L.A. lawyer who uses his Lincoln
town car as an office specializing in "foreclosure defense." Haller's
first foreclosure client, Lisa Trammel, is fighting hard to keep her
home, maybe too hard. The bank has gotten a restraining order to stop
Trammel's protests, and she becomes the prime suspect when Mitchell
Bondurant, a mortgage banker, is killed with a hammer in his office
parking lot. A ton of evidence points to Trammel, but Haller crafts
an impressive defense that includes "the fifth witness" of the title.
Connelly has a sure command of the legal and procedural details of
criminal court, and even manages to make the arcane, shady world of
foreclosure interesting. While the prose may lack some of the poetic
nuance of his early novels, the plot is worthy of a master storyteller
