"If life's lessons could be reduced to single sentences, there would be no need for fiction."
- Scott Turow

"Scott Turow not only knows what his readers want, he delivers just about perfectly.
- Chicago Tribune

"[Turow has] set new standards for the genre, most notably in the depth and subtlty of his characterizations...The kind of reading pleasure that only the best novelists - genre or otherwise - can provide."
- The New York Times

Turow presents an exceptional, well-written, legal mystery that turned out to be quite the page-turner. Once I started reading it, I just couldn't put it down. Turow's writing is descriptive, yet easy to read. His characters are very believable and accessible, especially George. I'll be looking for more of Turow's work in the future.

If you like legal thrillers, but don't want a doorstopper, this fast-moving short novel may be right for you. The case touches on hot-button issues of sex and race. The rights and wrongs are subtle, and Turow gives all viewpoints a fair say. He successfully combines the legal side of the story with an action thriller. The characters are vivid, from an eccentric fellow judge (bordering on loony, but brilliant) to scarily realistic gangsters. The suspense keeps building until the completely unexpected solution.
