After The Lincoln Lawyer season 2 ending saw Mickey (Manuel Garcia-Rulfo) almost run down by a black sedan, viewers were left to think Alex Grant (Michael A.

If so, will Alex try to kill Mickey again?

Then there was the shocking murder of Glory Days (Fiona Rene). The beloved former witness of Mickey was supposed to be enjoying her new life in Hawai'i.

The Lincoln Lawyer season 3 plot

A synopsis for the new season hasn't been released as of publication. However, we do know that as with the seasons 1 and 2, season 3 is based on Michael Connelly’s The Lincoln Lawyer book series. In particular, season 3 will be based on The Gods of Guilt . Here is a brief summary of the book:

"Mickey Haller gets the text, 'Call me ASAP - 187,' and the California penal code for murder immediately gets his attention. Murder cases have the highest stakes and the biggest paydays, and they always mean Haller has to be at the top of his game.

"When Mickey learns that the victim was his own former client, a prostitute he thought he had rescued and put on the straight and narrow path, he knows he is on the hook for this one. He soon finds out that she was back in LA and back in the life. Far from saving her, Mickey may have been the one who put her in danger.

"Haunted by the ghosts of his past, Mickey must work tirelessly and bring all his skill to bear on a case that could mean his ultimate redemption or proof of his ultimate guilt."
