Book Description:
In Judge Sonia "Sonny" Klonsky's courtroom a black man is being tried for the murder of an elderly white woman, the wife of a state senator. It is a bench trial--there is no jury--the prosecution and defense present the case directly to the judge.
However, the situation is complicated because the Senator, the defense attorney, the judge, and a covering reporter, are acquaintances from the 1960s, with private ties that may have no place in a controversial case.
As the trial unfolds, Turow delves into the personal familial relationships of his primary players, creating a complex emotional novel coupled with a thrilling courtroom drama.

Geri R. (Great courtroom thriller about a drive-by shooting in a drug-plagued housing project. The explosive case reunits a group of men and women who bonded in the revolutionary fires of the 1960's.
It was another drive-by shooting in one of Kindle County's most drug-plagued housing projects--but the victim was the ex-wife of a politician. Now this explosive case is about to reunite an unlikely group of men and women who first bonded in the revolutionary fires of the 1960s, and show a once-crusading female judge, driven by both her fears and her courage, just how devastating a single wrong choice can be.

Splendid..excellent..his best so far. Hair-raising courtroom thriller but also a nuanced story of crime and punishment . A main selection of the Literary Guild and Doubleday Book Club.
A story rooted in the turbulent Vietnam era with concequences in a 1995 murder case. Unusual flashbacks to the 1960's from 1995.
This book was gave to me and I have not read it, and figured someone else would love to have it.
really interesting story with some of the usual cast of Turow characters
