Book Description
================

An Amazon Best Book of the Month, December 2013: What distinguishes 
Connelly's Lincoln Lawyer books from the average legal thriller (in 
the same way his Harry Bosch series transcends "cop story") is the complicated 
likeability of his flawed hero,

 Mickey Haller, a criminal defense lawyer 
who works mostly from the backseat of a chauffeured Lincoln Town Car. 
In The Gods of Guilt, Haller agrees to defend a former client's pimp 
on a murder charge, and his messy past comes back to taunt him--an ideal 
introduction to Haller for newcomers, and catnip for fans. As a former 
newspaper court reporter, I've always appreciated Connelly's attention 
to the messy particulars of the legal system, and his ability to convey 
real courtroom drama, the humanity and inanity of bringing criminals 
to justice--or not. (The title refers to the imperfect judgment of a 
jury.) Like his peers, Laura Lippman and George Pelecanos, Connelly 
writes crime fiction verging subversively on literature, and Haller 
is becoming an increasingly complex literary figure, cruising LA's darkest 
corners in a style that feels like a modern twist on Chinatown. (Think 
Clint Eastwood-Dirty Harry-San Francisco, but in LA, and without the 
big guns and the unresolved anger.) Incredibly, Connelly just keeps 
getting better. --Neal Thompson


From Booklist
*Starred Review* When we last saw Mickey Haller (The Fifth Witness, 
2011), the hot-shot maverick attorney who works out of his Lincoln Town 
Car was fed up with defending bad guys and had decided to run for district 
attorney. Well, that didn’t work out. Too much politics. Now Mickey’s 
back with the bad guys, defending a high-tech pimp accused of killing 
one of his “girls,” who happens to be a former friend of Mickey’s. Naturally, 
the case has multiple levels, involving a bent DEA agent and requiring 
an unholy coalition with a drug lord. As he’s done throughout the Haller 
series, Connelly shows a remarkable ability to bring the courtroom alive—not 
just the details of the case at hand and the procedural machinations 
but also the personal drama simmering below the surface of the thrust 
and counterthrust of legal strategy. There is tragedy along the way 
to a verdict this time, and Mickey must confront his personal “gods 
of guilt” just as he does the jury in the courtroom. Connelly’s Harry 
Bosch series has typically dug deeper into personal demons and questions 
of existential identity than the Haller novels, but this time the fast-talking 
attorney is forced to look inward, where his tricks of the trade do 
him little good. A gripping novel, both in the courtroom and outside 
of it, and a testament to the melancholy maturing of Mickey Haller.
