Win Free Books & Movie Posters:The Lincoln Lawyer with Matthew McConaughey

I've made no secret of the fact that I absolutely love suspense novelist Michael Connelly's work, especially his charming, crafty, and just-this-side of sleazy (though just like all his ex-wives, you gotta love him anyway) defense attorney Mickey Haller, whose adventures begin with the fabulously well-crafted, completely-unputdownable The Lincoln Lawyer.

A classic coyote/trickster character, Haller cruises the seamier side of LA in the backseat of his office-on-wheels, a Lincoln Towncar whose license plate reads IWALKEM (novel version) until he stumbles into the case that will change his life forever. In March, The Lincoln Lawyer, starring Matthew McConaughey, is coming to theaters, and do we have a treat for BtO readers. A terrific giveaway courtesy of the movie studio will bring five lucky winners each one copy of the mass market paperback edition of The Lincoln Lawyer along with one of the supercool new movie posters.

(By the way, I'm halfway through an Advanced Reading Copy of the forthcoming Mickey Haller novel, The Fifth Witness, and I'm absolutely loving it. But more about that in a later post.)

For a chance to win, all you have to do is leave a comment (preferably one with your name) and--here's the important part--check back on Monday, when I'll be posting the winners. Then e-mail me by clicking the provided link to send me your full name and mailing address, and your prizes will be on their way!

Loved the Lincoln Lawyer - hope the film does well, then we can see the Brass Verdict and the Reversal made into film.

Think Matthew will be good a Mickey Haller.

I love this book. Michael Connelly is one of my all-time favorite authors. I liked his Bosch books, but I LOVE Mickey Haller. THE LINCOLN LAWYER was one of the best books I've ever read! What a great contest :) Love Matthew McConaughey, too :)

I have been waiting for this. I started out thinking McConaughey was not right to play Mickey. i began to warm to the idea and then seeing the trailer-I'm sold.
I want a Bosch movie series.

Thanks for running the contest. I enjoyed listening to the audiobook of LINCOLN LAWYER, and I'm excited to see the movie.

I've never read a Michael Connelly book. I'm thinking to change my book-reading ways. I'm definitely seeing this movie.

Tweeted and shared on Facebook, but I am assuming the contest is open to U.S. residents only.

I'm always happy to pass along anything that might interest my online friends and readers.

Cheers!
Thanks for the retweet, Elen, and thanks everyone for your kind comments.

If you haven't yet tried Michael Connelly, you definitely should. He's a master.
