The Gods of Guilt

Michael Connelly

Allen & Unwin, Nov 2, 2021 - Murder - 480 pages

Defence lawyer Mickey Haller gets the text 'Call me ASAP - 1987', and the California penal code for murder immediately gets his attention. Murder cases have the highest stakes and the biggest paydays, so Haller has to be at the top of his game. When Mickey learns that the victim was his own former client, a sex worker 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 to her old 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 al his skill to bear on a case that could prove either his ultimate guilt ... or his ultimate redemption.
