Turow, Scott Personal Injuries
Penguin Books Ltd September 28, 2 0-14-029282-9 / 9780140292824 Paperback Near Fine
Any fan of mysteries and thrillers knows if you read enough of them, you'll eventually develop a knack for predicting the outcome. Read a handful of A gatha Christies and you've nailed down her pattern. Harry Bosch will prevai l over evil, Spenser will find justice, Bernie will be exonerated. It doesn 't diminish the fun of getting there --- I've enjoyed every one and can't w ait for the next release --- but Scott Turow's legal thrillers are clearly on a different plane. They're never predictable; he can pack more surprises into a plot than you would think imaginable.

Turow, Scott Personal Injuries
New York Farrar, Straus and Giroux October 7, 1999 0-374-28194-7 / 9780374281946 Hardcover
Scott Turow has always pushed himself beyond the expectations of readers an d critics. In Presumed Innocent (1987), he introduced fictional Kindle Coun ty and ushered in the era that spawned such mega-authors as John Grisham, R ichard North Patterson, and David Baldacci. In Personal Injuries, Turow con tinues to innovate on legal fiction, but his achievement this time is not g ained through clever plot twists (though there are several) or intense lega l action (though there is much of that too). The achievement of mastery thi s time is via exquisitely drawn, Faulknerian characters--attorney Robbie Fe aver, agent Evon Miller, U.S. Attorney Stan Sennett, and Justice Brendan Tu ohey--whose lives become the driving mystery at the core of the book.

Turow, Scott Presumed Innocent
Warner Books December 5, 198 0-446-35986-6 / 9780446359863 Paperback Very Good
Chicago defense attorney Turow, formerly a U.S. prosecutor, capitalizes on his intimate knowledge of the courtroom in an impressive first novel that m atches Anatomy of a Murder in its intensity and verisimilitude. With the ca lculating genius of a good lawyer (and writer), Turow, author of the nonfic tion One L, draws the reader into a grittily realistic portrait of big city political corruption that climaxes with a dramatic murder trial in which e very dark twist of legal statute and human nature is convincingly revealed. The novel's present tense puts the reader firmly in the mind of narrator R usty Sabich, a married prosecuting attorney whose affair with a colleague c omes back to haunt him after she is brutally raped and murdered. Sabich's p rofessional and personal lives begin to mingle painfully when he becomes th e accused. His is a gripping and provocative dilemma: "Sitting in court, I actually forget who is on trial at certain moments. . . . And once we get b ack to the office, I can be a lawyer again, attacking the books, making not es and memos." Turow's ability to forge the reader's identification with th e protagonist, his insightful characterizations of Sabich's legal colleague s and the overwhelming sense he conveys of being present in the courtroom a re his most brilliant and satisfying contributions to what may become a lit erary crime classic.

Turow, Scott Reversible Errors: A Novel
New York Farrar, Straus and Giroux October 29, 200 0-374-28160-2 / 9780374281601 1st Edition Hardcover Fine/Fine
A highly collectible first edition, not price clipped or an ex-lib edition. Arthur Raven, more versed in corporate law than criminal defense, is not eager to accept the court-appointed task of handling death-row inmate "Squirrel" Gandolph's last-minute appeal of his murder conviction. Fast approaching middle age, Arthur has come to terms with the burdens and disappointments of his life, among which are a schizophrenic sister for whom he is responsible and the realization that he will probably never make an enduring connection with a woman. But when evidence surfaces that might exonerate his client, he rises to the occasion with a quiet determination to see justice done. Facing a formidable prosecuting attorney and her former lover, the policeman whose testimony convinced Judge Gillian Sullivan to find Squirrel guilty, Arthur's persistence not only wins his client a temporary reprieve from execution but also endears him to Sullivan, who has fallen on hard times since Squirrel's trial--fresh out of prison herself for taking bribes, she is a most unlikely candidate for Arthur's affections. Scott Turow's masterful characterization of complex and multidimensional people catalyzed by events into searching reexamination of their own motives and ambitions is matched by the intricacies of his plot, which itself is well served by his insider's knowledge of the criminal justice system and his extraordinary understanding of the vagaries of the human heart. The prose is luminescent, the narrative compelling, and the moral implications of Arthur's personal and professional choices beautifully articulated. This is a tour de force for a
