And as the evidence stacks up, Haller comes to believe this may be the easiest case of his career. It is a defense attorney's dream, what they call a franchise case. Then someone close to him is murdered and Haller discovers that his search for innocence has brought him face-to-face with evil as pure as a flame. Sometimes it's even about justice.A Beverly Hills playboy arrested for attacking a woman he picked up in a bar chooses Haller to defend him, and Mickey has his first high-paying client in years.
