A gripping portrayal of judicial corruption, The Laws of our Fathers is Scott Turow's fourth Kindle County legal thriller. 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 .

Presume innocent

Le sénateur Paul Gianis se présente comme maire à Kindle County tandis que son frère jumeau, Cass, est libéré après avoir purgé une peine de vingt-cinq ans de prison pour le meurtre de son ancienne petite amie, Dita Kronon. Lorsque Evon Miller, frère de la victime et responsable de la sécurité pour la société de Hal Kronon et Tim Brodie, détective privé, reprennent l'enquête sur la mort de Dita, ils se retrouvent pris au piège des illusions et confrontés à une vérité sans fard : les gens ne croient que ce qui les arrange. Passion, meurtre et trahison : dans ce superbe roman, Scott Turow, maître incontesté du thriller juridique, revisite avec brio le thème de la gémellité.

Identique

A suspenseful death row drama, Reversible Errors is Scott Turow's sixth Kindle County legal thriller. Rommy "Squirrel" Gandolph is an inmate on death row for a 1991 triple murder. His slow progress toward execution is nearing completion when Arthur Raven, a corporate lawyer and Rommy's reluctant representative, receives word of new evidence that will exonerate Gandolph. Arthur's opponent is the formidable prosecuting attorney Muriel Wynn. Together with Larry Starczek, the original detective on the case, she is determined to see Rommy's fate sealed. Meanwhile the judge who originally found him guilty is just out of prison herself. Scott Turow's compelling, multi-dimensional characters take the reader into Kindle County's parallel yet intersecting worlds of weary police, small-time crooks and ambitious lawyers. No other writer offers such a convincing picture of how the law and life interact - or such a profound understanding of what is at stake when the state holds the power to end a man's life.
