At the close of legal-thriller novelist Scott Turow's second book, The Burden of Proof, Sonia Klonsky was a young prosecutor in Kindle County Courthouse with a failing marriage, an infant daughter, and a single mastectomy. Now, as the narrator of Turow's latest novel, she's a Superior Court Judge presiding over the murder trial of one Nile Eddgar, accused of arranging the slaying of his ghetto-activist mother, June. Turow attempts a sort of social history of the 60s in this ambitious mystery, but the most vivid passages come when the gangbangers of the Black Saints Disciples take center stage. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

A MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT, September 5, 2003
Reviewer:

from CALIF BAY AREA United States
After reading such novels as PLEADING GUILTY and BURDEN OF PROOF, I was looking forward to reading the next installment. But, this novel was was of a lesser quality: flatter characters, not as much pacing and, just an overall lesser sense of emotional resonance. Note that this was after reading about 40 pages, but, my feeling is: if a book can't hold me after 40 pages, it isn't worth reading.
