The Fifth Witness by Michael Connelly
Michael Connelly has a series of books written about a maverick attorney, The Lincoln Lawyer. His office is a Lincoln Town Car BPS. BPS stands for Ballistic Protection Services. I truly enjoy them because they keep you guessing from chapter to chapter and always with a laugh or two. Mickey Haller is “Defender of the Damned” and there is something about this guy...see what you think….

The Guilty by David Baldacci
In Baldacci’s latest thriller, Will Robie, the U.S. government’s most disciplined and lethal assassin, has lost his mojo due to unresolved personal issues. Will returns to his childhood home along the Gulf Coast of Mississippi to confront his estranged father who also happens to be in jail on murder charges. While the plot is not always plausible and somewhat predictable, it’s classic Baldacci and an entertaining read.
