The Guilt Gods

The inspiration behind the hit TV show on Netflix, "The Lincoln Lawyer," comes from the gripping novel of courtroom suspense where defense attorney Mickey Haller is pushed to the brink as he defends a man accused of murdering a prostitute. In this "best one yet" novel (The Washington Post), Mickey receives a text message with the urgent message to call immediately about a murder case.

As soon as Mickey sees the California penal code for murder, he knows he must act quickly. Murder cases are high-stakes with big rewards, but they also require Mickey to be at his very best. The case takes a personal turn when Mickey discovers that the victim was a former client of his, a prostitute he had previously tried to help.

However, instead of saving her, Mickey realizes he may have inadvertently put her in harm's way by trying to lead her onto a better path. Struggling with his own past demons, Mickey throws himself into the case with all his expertise, determined to find redemption for himself and justice for the victim. "The Gods of Guilt" showcases Michael Connelly's talent for crafting intense courtroom dramas that rival even John Grisham's best works, as noted by the Los Angeles Times.

In this thrilling novel, Mickey Haller must confront his own guilt and fight for the truth in a case that could make or break his career. Rich in suspense and gripping from start to finish, "The Gods of Guilt" is a must-read for fans of legal thrillers and courtroom dramas. Find out why Michael Connelly is hailed as a master of the genre as he weaves a tale of justice, redemption, and the price of bending the law.
