The Gods of Guilt by Michael Connelly5/29/2023 Claire Welton had just identified my client as the man who had forced her out of her Mercedes E60 at gunpoint on Christmas Eve last year. This, of course, belied my true intent, which was to destroy the woman who sat there with her eyes fixed on me. I approached the witness stand with a warm and welcoming smile. The Gods of Guilt shows once again why “Michael Connelly excels, easily surpassing John Grisham in the building of courtroom suspense” ( Los Angeles Times). 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. Far from saving her, Mickey may have been the one who put her in danger. He soon finds out that she was back in LA and back in the life. 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. Murder cases have the highest stakes and the biggest paydays, and they always mean Haller has to be at the top of his game. Mickey Haller gets the text, “Call me ASAP – 187,” and the California penal code for murder immediately gets his attention. Defense attorney Mickey Haller is forced to bend the law until it breaks when he is hired to defend a man accused of killing a prostitute in this novel of courtroom suspense, the “best one yet” ( The Washington Post).
