"No one on the contemporary scene writes better myster-suspense novels than Scott Turow." --Bill Blum,Los Angeles Times Book Review "When Scott Turow writes about a milieu, he knows whereof he speaks. You know he made it up, but you also know it's real." --George V. Higgins,Chicago Tribune "Turow brings a literary sensibility to a grit-and-gravel genre: if he calls to mind any comparison, it's to John le Carre. His novels are shaped by [a] studied bleakness, an introspect's embrace of the gray-zone ambiguities of modern life." --Gail Caldwell,The Boston Sunday Globe "Turow istheclass act of legal thriller writers." --Publishers Weekly "Turow moves skillfully between past and present, revealing tiny tidbits of fact, circumstance, and motive as he goes and leaving it up to the reader not only to construct the story's linear progression but to understand the significance of the book's title as both a legal entity within its plot and a personal reality for its characters." --Library Journal, "No one on the contemporary scene writes better myster-suspense novels than Scott Turow." --Bill Blum, Los Angeles Times Book Review "When Scott Turow writes about a milieu, he knows whereof he speaks.
