The Fifth Witness (The Lincoln Lawyer #4) by Michael Connelly

In tough times, crime is one of the few things that still 
pays, but if defence attorney Mickey Haller was expecting
an upswing in business during the economic downturn,
the reality is a different story. Even people needing legal
representation to keep them out of jail are having to make 
cutbacks, it seems. In fact, the most significant part of
Mickey's business right now is not about keeping clients
out of jail but about keeping  a roof over their heads as the
foreclosure boom starts to hit.

Lisa Trammel has been a client of Mickey's for eight months, and although so
far he'd managed to stop the bank from taking her house, they recently got a
restraining order to prevent her protesting against their fraudulent practices.

But now their CEO, Mitchell Bondurant, has been found in the bank's car park
with a bullet in his brain, and Lisa is about to be indicted for murder. For
Mickey, it's back to what he does best on the biggest stage of all, but if he
thought defending Lisa Trammel was going to be a walk in the park, he'd be
dead wrong.

Not only is he about to learn some startling truths about his client, but also
about himself, and by the time the verdict is in, Mickey's whole world will have
been turned upside down.
