Identical

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

Personal injuries ; dommage personnel

A portrayal of imperfect justice, Personal Injuries is Scott Turow's fifth Kindle County legal thriller. Robbie Feaver is a successful personal injury lawyer, with a burgeoning practice, a way with the ladies and a beautiful wife he loves - who is dying of an incurable illness. He also has a secret bank account where he occasionally deposits funds which make their way into the pockets of judges who decide Robbie's cases. Robbie is apprehended and, in exchange for leniency, agrees to 'wear a wire' as he continues to try to fix decisions. The FBI agent assigned to supervise him goes by the alias of Evon Miller. She is stocky, lonely, uncomfortable in her skin, and impervious to Robbie's charms. And she carries secrets of her own .
