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.

Reversible Errors

Résumé venant d'une autre édition.Horgan, procureur du comté de Kindle, est en campagne électorale pour le renouvellement de son mandat. Une de ses collaboratrices est retrouvée morte. Qui a assassiné cette belle et attirante jeune femme ? C'est ce que Rusty Sabich, premier adjoint de Horgan, est chargé de découvrir rapidement afin que ce meurtre n'ait aucune incidence sur la réélection de son patron. Mais coup de théâtre, Horgan perd son poste et à peine élu, le nouveau procureur accuse Rusty du meurtre. Ancien amant de la victime, plusieurs preuves l'accablent. L'un des mérites de ce livre, outre son suspense, est de dépeindre des personnages en demi-teinte, souvent cyniques et ambigus. Ancien avocat lui-même, Scott Turow utilise son expérience pour rendre vivantes et réalistes des séances de tribunal où chaque partie use d'effets de manches pour déstabiliser l'adversaire, à la grande joie des amateurs. Ce best-seller est sans nul doute à l'origine du renouveau du thriller judiciaire aux États-Unis. --Claude Mesplède
