Helpful Score: 1
I really enjoyed this book - it's a courtroom suspense/mysetry. If you like John Grisham, you'll probably like this one. The author wrote Presumed Innocent (movie made with Harrison Ford). I enjoyed that book also. This one was good suspense, not too easy to figure out, made you want to keep reading.

It was another drive-by shooting in one of Kindle County's most drug-plagued housing projects--but the victim was the ex-wife of a politician. Now this explosive case is about to reunite an unlikely group of men and women who first bonded in the revolutionary fires of the 1960s . . . and show a once-crusading female judge, driven by both her fears and her courage, just how devastating a single wrong choice can be.
Excellent, as always for this author.
Splendid..excellent..his best so far. Hair-raising courtroom thriller but also a nuanced story of crime and punishment . A main selection of the Literary Guild and Doubleday Book Club.
One of Turow's best.

Excellent book.
Riveting suspense, legal thriller!

ANother Turow home run!

The ex-wife of a politician is shot in the projects and a group of 1960's friends reunite to oppose a female judge's wrong decision- a courtroom thriller.
LOVE TUROW!
Great courtroom thriller about a drive-by shooting in a drug-plagued housing project. The explosive case reunits a group of men and women who bonded in the revolutionary fires of the 1960's.
Adrive-by shooting in Kindle County's drug-plagued housing project. The victim is an aging white woman and her son, a probation officer is charged with the crim. Judge Sonia (Sonny) Klonsky (from Burden of Proof) presides at the trial. There are lots of flash backs to her college years as the defense attorney and a reporter used to be her friends in college.
This book is missing the dust cover.

A little long and there are a lot of character with their own subplots. I had a little trouble with the ebonics but it was a pretty good read.
A story rooted in the turbulent Vietnam era with concequences in a 1995 murder case. Unusual flashbacks to the 1960's from 1995.

At the close of legal-thriller novelist Scott Turow's second book, The Burden of Proof, Sonia Klonsky was a young prosecutor in Kindle County Courthouse with a failing marriage, an infant daughter, and a single mastectomy. Now, as the narrator of Turow's latest novel, she's a Superior Court Judge presiding over the murder trial of one Nile Eddgar, accused of arranging the slaying of his ghetto-activist mother, June. Turow attempts a sort of social history of the 60s in this ambitious mystery, but the most vivid passages come when the gangbangers of the Black Saints Disciples take center stage.
