Description
Since his last case, where he got an innocent woman out of jail, Mickey Haller is determined to find new meaning in his work. He launches a civil lawsuit against a high-tech company whose artificial intelligence is accused of encouraging a teenager to kill his girlfriend. As the representative of the victim's family, he will delve into the murky and largely unregulated world of AI. During his investigation, he crosses paths with Jack McEvoy, a journalist attending the hearings to write a book on the subject. Haller doesn't hesitate for a second to ask McEvoy for help, and soon the two of them track down the whistleblower who exposed the scandal. But the case quickly becomes perilous, as billions of dollars are at stake, and the AI giants Haller is targeting will stop at nothing to protect their interests. After a career as a journalist in Florida and then at the Los Angeles Times, Michael Connelly turned to writing with *The Black Echo*, for which he received the Edgar Award for Best First Novel and which marked the debut of Harry Bosch. He has sold over 85 million copies of his books worldwide, including *The Poet*, *The Wrong Goodbye*, and *The Desert Star*, all published by Calmann-Lévy. His novels have been adapted for film and television and have been translated into 45 languages.
