Connelly Michael: The Gods of Guilt

IN THE RIVETING NEW COURTROOM THRILLER FROM #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR MICHAEL CONNELLY, LINCOLN LAWYER MICKEY HALLER DEFENDS A MURDER CASE IN WHICH THE VICTIM WAS HIS FORMER CLIENT.

IS MICKEY TO BLAME?

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 discovers that the victim was a prostitute he once represented and thought he had rescued, he knows there is no way he’ll let this one go. The case is suddenly about more than the guilt or innocence of the defendant — it’s about finding out what happened to a woman he cared for, a woman who he learns was back in L.A. and back in the life. Far from saving her, Mickey might have been the one who put her in danger.

Mickey must follow his gut instinct directly into a dangerous world of intrigue and double-dealing to get justice for both of his clients, living and dead. As he faces the “gods of guilt” — the jurors who will deliver the ultimate verdict — he’s forced to struggle with his personal demons for a shot at his own redemption. The Gods of Guilt shows once again why “Michael Connelly excels, easily surpassing even John Grisham in the building of courtroom suspense” (Los Angeles Times).
