In a seven-figure deal, Lakeshore Entertainment has picked up the movie rights to Michael Connelly's upcoming crime novel "The Lincoln Lawyer" and will produce with Stone Village Pictures says The Hollywood Reporter.
Connelly is a big name in the crime-fiction world with his latest book "The Narrows" on the best-seller charts. His novel "Blood Work" was adapted into a 2002 film that starred and was directed by Clint Eastwood, whilst his other works include such titles as "City of Bones", "A Darkness More Than Night", "The Black Ice", "The Last Coyote", "Angels Flight" and "Void Moon".
"Lawyer" concerns an attorney with a questionable set of ethics and an old Lincoln Town Car as his office. He discovers that a man he put on death row for murder is innocent and the man he currently is defending is the real killer. The book is scheduled to be released in the fall.
Thanks to 'Brad'
