  Giusto perché il libro è autografato dal maestro.... ç_ç

  
  Everybody lies.
  Cops lie. Lawyers lie. Witnesses lie. The victims lie.
  A trial is a contest of lies. And everybody in the courtroom knows this. The judge knows this. Even the jury knows this. They come into the building knowing they will be lied to. They take their seats in the box and agree to ... (continue)

  
  Everybody lies.
  Cops lie. Lawyers lie. Witnesses lie. The victims lie.
  A trial is a contest of lies. And everybody in the courtroom knows this. The judge knows this. Even the jury knows this. They come into the building knowing they will be lied to. They take their seats in the box and agree to be lied to.
  The trick if you are sitting at the defense table is to be patient. To wait. Not for just any lie. But for the one you can grab on to and forge like hot iron into a sharpened blade. You then use that blade to rip the case open and spill its guts out on the floor.
  Il pezzo ci è stato letto da Michael Connelly in persona.. E poi rovinato da quel cretino di Faletti che l'ha riletto in italiano, ma dettagli.
  Mi spiace essere così impietosa con un libro di Connelly.. Ma io Haller non riesco proprio a mandarlo giù. Mi irrita o nei casi migliori mi lascia del tutto indifferente. Insomma, non ero lì a fare il tifo per lui.. E anzi, se avesse fallito non mi sarebbe dispiaciuto.
  Peccato per la figure marginali di Bosch e McEvoy, sicuramente due personaggi più riusciti di Haller..!!

  E poi boh, il legal thriller non è che mi sconfinferi tanto.. ._.

  Los Angeles was the kind of place where everyboday was from somewhere else and nobady really dropped anchor.

  It was a transient place.People drawn by the dream,people running from the nightmare.Twelve million people and all of them ready to make a break for it if necessary.

  Figuratively,Literally,metaphoricallly-any way you want to look at it-everybody in L.A. keep a bag packed.Just in case.(The Brass Verdict-Michael Connelly p.74)

  如果說馬修史卡德屬於紐約

  福爾摩斯屬於倫敦

  金絲梅芳屬於聖塔巴巴拉

  那麼,鮑許探長,絕對是屬於洛杉磯的了

  幾句精闢的文字,就把一個城市的生態描寫絲絲入扣,這當然只有混當地的作者講的出來的話

  p.s.怎麼覺得後面附錄的另一個開頭比較吸引我?
