I enjoyed this book. There are several reviews complaining that it is too short, not enough detail, too easily wrapped up. Sometimes I want to read a book that is not 400 pages, that still gives you plenty to consider while reading and after you are finished; and is written in eloquent prose. This book fit the bill quite nicely.

Nobody can do legal thrillers like Scott Turow, and he doesn't disappoint in this story of an appellate judge receiving death threats as he considers a politically and emotionally charged case.

This is the large print version...

not my favorite Turow, but a timely topic and a worthwhile read.

Life would seem to have gone well for George Mason. His days as a criminal defense lawyer are long behind him. At fifty-nine, he has sat as a judge on the Court of Appeals in Kindle County for nearly a decade. Yet, when a disturbing rape case is brought before him, the judge begins to question the very nature of the law and his role within it. What is troubling George Mason so deeply? Is it his wife's recent diagnosis? Or the strange and threatenting e-mails he has started to receive? And what is it about this horrific case of sexual assault, now on trial in his courtroom, that has led him to question his fitness to judge?
