Michael Connelly is, hands down, the best modern-day crime fiction writer in the business today. The Proving Ground proves exactly why. This legal thriller dives into a case tangled up in the unchecked power of AI and the responsibility tech giants owe to the people who trust their products. Connelly doesn’t preach. He lays out a razor-sharp story that makes you think while it keeps your pulse up.
Mickey and his ex-wife Maggie are pulled together in the aftermath of Los Angeles’ devastating wildfires, and Connelly uses the city as only he can. It’s a living, breathing force that shapes choices his characters make. The fires bond them at first, but the emotional fallout threatens to splinter them all over again after Maggie loses everything.
The pace never stalls. The courtroom scenes are dramatic. There are tons of twists to keep even seasoned Connelly readers on their toes. And longtime fans will love the return of Jack McEvoy, a familiar face who fits perfectly into the case.
Peter Giles delivers a standout performance. He captures the tension, emotional weight, and the sharp edges of Connelly’s writing without ever overdoing it. His narration adds depth to an already gripping story. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
