Book Description:
Welcome back to Kindle County... ...where skies are generally gray, the truth is seldom simple, and the partners of a top-drawer corporate law firm are counting on one world-weary attorney to save them from front-page scandal and financial ruin. When Gage & Griswell's star litigator suddenly disappears--along with $5.6 million of its most important client's money---the assignment of locating both goes to Mack Malloy, a fiftyish ex-cop, almost ex-drunk and partner-on-the-wane at G&G. Mack's search takes him into the treacherous inner sanctum of his firm and through the shadowy heart of the city itself, on a path that soon runs him up against his longtime nemesis---the odious Pigeyes---as he plucks the threads of a dangerous web of corruption, deceit and murder. An edge-of-the-chair journey into an ominous and enthralling world, Pleading Guilty is at once a brilliantly constructed puzzle, a relentlessly entertaining character study, and as suspenseful a story as any listener could want---a masterpiece of midwestern menace that could come only from Scott Turow.

Pleading Guilty by Scott Turow is easier to read than Filth by Irvine Welsh, but the self-destructive protagonist still got on my nerves. I enjoyed the book more when I started skipping paragraphs of internal dialog to get back to the action. Mack is an ex-cop, washed-up lawyer, and recovering alcoholic. When a partner at his firm goes AWAL (with 5.6 million dollars) the managing committee shanghais Mack into looking for him. Or rather, the 5.6 million, because it turns out that very few people at the firm care much about the missing partner.

Literary Quality: 6/10

Enjoyment: 6/10

I think he's one of the more underrated author in the mystery genre. He tells a complex story that is sometimes hard to follow, and this is another financial-type mystery. Loved the ending.

It took me a while to get into the book but once I did it was very entertaining.

Mack Malloy is an ex-cop and a partner in a law firm. He is on the trail of a colleague who has vanished with over 5 million dollars of a client's money. He tries to find himself while solving this mystery. This is a good book--a page turner.
