The Gods of Guilt, Connnelly - B+

                                         Michael Connelly is one of the most all-time fun thriller/mystery/procedural novelists out there. I love his stuff and read them as soon as they arrive on my kindle - this one showed up yesterday.  Most of his books are about LA cop Harry Bosch, but this is the latest in his burgeoning 'Lincoln Lawyer' series about Mickey Haller.  Mick is hired to defend a cyber-pimp accused of killing a prostitute.  The client claims a frame-up, and an investigation shows that that is the likely truth. Proving it will involve uncovering a DEA-managed plot that ran for over a decade.  Mickey's cast of supporting characters -  his driver, his law clerk, his secretary and his investigator play prominent roles. A trip to a state prison about two hours north of the city is the only time they leave the environs of LA.  The courtroom closing is page-turner and as always, justice is done.
