PRAISE FOR MICHAEL CONNELLY:

"Connelly inherits the mantle of Raymond Chandler and his legendary detective Philip Marlowe. And the similarities between the two writers don't stop there. Their books share a kind of ambitious artistry that strains to reach beyond genre fiction....Connelly understands how to deliver a great story of many pieces that coalesce into page-turning literature."--Chuck Leddy, Boston Globe

Defense attorney Mickey Haller returns with a haunting case in the gripping new thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Michael Connelly.

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 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. He soon finds out that she was back in LA and back in the 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 all his skill to bear on a case that could mean his ultimate redemption or proof of his ultimate guilt. The Gods of Guilt shows once again why "Michael Connelly excels, easily surpassing John Grisham in the building of courtroom suspense" (Los Angeles Times).
