Summary: The case of Law v. Conscience
Review: Arthur Raven, a lawyer, is given a court appointed case. He doesn't really want to take it, but there will be consequences to not handling it. The case has been handled a couple of times before by others and each time the defendant has been guilty as charged. However, he's about to be executed and this is his hail mary attempt.
Arthur digs into it with all effort and discovers the man MAY be innocent. So he digs deeper. His digging brings up demons that are a decade old. The old cop, the old judge, the prosecutor, and even Arthur have to face internal conflicts that bring everybody to the point of exhaustion.
This story brings to the front what's right versus what can be done under the law. Sometimes what can be done under the law isn't the "right" thing to do. The conscience comes in to fight, and a lot of people are brought to their knees.
A must read.

Summary: One of Turow's finest...
Review: A magnificently written court room drama with a man's life in the hinges. RE gives the reader an insightful look at what it takes to survive as a lawyer, a judge, a detective, and a condemned inmate. His characters come to life with just the right mix of detail so you look into their personality and personal lives like you know them as friends. A great mix of suspense and romance and mental disorder thrown in the normal Turow flair -- and the author's got yet another winning novel. Four stars!!
