Chapter Two: "Your father always called the jurors the 'gods of guilt.' You remember that?"
"Yep. Because they decide guilty or not guilty..."
Hardback: 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, he knows he is on the hook for this one.
He soon finds out that Gloria Dayton was back in LA and back in the life.
Far from saving her, Mickey may have been the one who set her on the road that led to her death.
Suddenly Mickey's not just trying to get his client off a murder charge; haunted by the ghosts of his own past, and with his own guilt or redemption on the line, he desperately needs to find out who Gloria really was and who, ultimately, was responsible for her death.
