This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of books). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Comment: The Tampa Bay Times article is solid but his website is a primary source and not independent and the Cornell Law link has nothing to do with book so neither are helpful. A couple more sources with in-depth coverage about the book are needed. Also, please see this guide for citing sources. S0091 (talk) 16:17, 24 December 2023 (UTC)

The Law of Innocence is the 35th novel by American author Michael Connelly and his sixth to feature Los Angeles criminal defense attorney Mickey Haller. The book was published in the United States in 2020.
The novel follows Mickey Haller as he defends himself on charges of murder.[1]
The book also features Harry Bosch, as well as people who Haller has defended in the past.
While the novel a work of fiction, it is centered on the complex issues and distinctions between guilt and innocence, as well as on the criminal justice system's myriad strengths and weaknesses.
Some of the legal themes that are highlighted in the novel are that of attorney-client privilege, the right to a speedy trial, as well as the right to represent oneself in court.
