The Fifth Witness is a 2011 mystery novel by Michael Connelly, featuring defense lawyer Mickey Haller.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The downturn in the economy has caused fewer and fewer people to be able to afford high-priced criminal defense lawyers like Mickey Haller. Haller, looking for work, has gone into civil law—specifically, foreclosure law, and helping distressed homeowners fight eviction. This winds up yanking him back into criminal law when one of his clients, Lisa Trammel, is arrested for the murder of mortgage banker Mitchell Bondurant.

Belligerent Sexual Tension: Mickey's ex-wife Maggie shows up at his house unannounced to berate him, because Haller used Maggie's connection with prosecutor Andrea Freeman to get Freeman to hand over discovery materials. She yells at him, he yells at her, and it ends in sex.

Continuity Nod: Murder victim Mitchell Bondurant was an executive at WestLand National Bank. That was the bank that was robbed waaaaay back in the backstory to Michael Connelly's very first novel, The Black Echo. The umpteenth reference to fictional movie studio Archway Studios, first mentioned in Connelly novel Trunk Music and in several novels since. Haller also says that former Archway head Walter Elliot was a client of his once—that is the plot of novel The Brass Verdict.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })
