Since the American writer Michael connelly He burst onto the Spanish literary scene, back in 2004, the flood of his works has not stopped. Emblematic characters such as the prolific Harry Bosch have managed to win a space on the tables of many readers thanks to that mixture between the police and the black.

This time it is the turn of Mickey Haller, Harry Bosch's own stepbrother and also the protagonist of some previous installments, you sprinkle among Connelly's extensive production.

Haller is a lawyer, to his credit several fascinating cases in which he has always skirted the darker side of the underworld, sometimes counting on his own stepbrother to elucidate the most intricate aspects of his necessary investigations in favor of the best defense or control of the matter. .

The gods of guilt evoke the great guilt that has been dragging Haller since he tried to grow in the prosecutorial career and that ended up bearing the indirect guilt of an acquittal obtained for an unrepentant murderer.

Haller is not going through his best moment. But a new posh case appears as a new possibility to resume his career and rebuild his life devoted to alcohol. You just have to defend a guy accused of killing a cache hooker.

And yet the woman's name plunges him back into misery. She is Gloria Dayton, of whom Conelly remembers how he managed to get her off drugs ...

But deep down, Gloria had always been in danger. She was a confidant to be able to stop a great trafficker. And maybe from those muds these muds ...

Could it be that Gloria knew too much? To what extent is your client involved?

That the case splashes on him so directly puts a greater burden on Mickey. Your client's defense may become a judgment on yourself, on your past.

Ultimately, the jury will decide the truth of the matter. And from the hypersubjective notion with which Mickey Haller will address the matter, it is more than likely that Gloria's murder has nothing to do with what it seems at first.
