The Proving Ground : The Brand New Blockbuster Lincoln Lawyer Thriller by Connelly, Michael

Description

Mickey Haller – The Lincoln Lawyer – leaves criminal court behind for his first civil lawsuit. But to him, this is still a murder trial.

An AI company’s chatbot encouraged a sixteen-year-old boy to kill his ex-girlfriend. Can Haller prove the company knew the dangers of its own creation?

To do so, he turns to Jack McEvoy – a journalist who knows how powerful the coming wave will be – and together they soon uncover a whistleblower in hiding.

As the tech titans try to buy or bully their way out, the scale of their courtroom battle before them becomes clear. Because billions are at stake – along with countless lives – in an all or nothing case, which could change everything…

From the author of the books behind the #1 Netflix show The Lincoln Lawyer, and #1 Amazon Prime series Bosch and Ballard.
