Haller also realizes that La Cosse is innocent, that he has been set up by a rogue drug enforcement agent and a retired cop turned investigator. Haller quickly recognizes that the woman actually is Gloria Dayton, the prostitute he thought he’d convinced to turn her back on the life. One of the working girls is Giselle Dallinger, the woman he’s accused of killing. He sets up “dates,” then collects a percentage. The accused man is Andre La Cosse, a homosexual and digital pimp who operates websites for prostitutes. “The Gods of Guilt” proves that time has only honed Connelly’s skill.

The author’s published some 25 novels, many of them part of a detective series about Haller’s half brother, Harry Bosch.

The girl had to change schools because of the hazing, so she won’t have anything to do with her father. More important, his daughter turned her back on Haller. The scandal cost Haller his run for Los Angeles district attorney, and his ex-wife, a public prosecutor who’d supported him, was demoted.
