Mickey Haller embarks on his first civil suit, representing the mother of a murdered girl. The high school girl's killer is her young boyfriend - the AI Chetbot apparently goaded him into shooting her.
Will Haller be able to prove that the artificial intelligence firm that created the Chetbot knew of its pitfalls and dangers?
To accomplish this, Haller teams up with journalist Jack McEvoy, who wants to write a book about the trial. Haller, however, won't let Jack just watch and puts him fully into the job. Fortunately! Because McEvoy's quest, in a situation where billions and human lives are at stake, will yield the most important thing - a key witness. Will the tech titans manage to escape the loop against all odds?
They said about the title
"Bestselling author Connelly has created a riveting eighth case for attorney Mickey Haller. Here, Connelly effectively delves into topical issues, touching on the loneliness of teenage boys and the dangers of artificial intelligence, while sparing no expense on the dynamic plot for which he is known. Newcomers and fans of the series alike will find this fast-paced legal thriller immensely satisfying." - Publishers Weekly
"Arena is the most relevant and gripping legal thriller of the decade, and Michael Connelly proves once again that no one can capture courtroom drama and teetering on the edge of justice quite like him." - Ryan Steck, The Real Book Spy
