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 ... With its riveting suspense and indelibly drawn characters, The Laws of Our Fathers shows once again why Scott Turow is not only the master of the modern legal thriller, but also one of America's most gifted and satisfying novelists. Turow reveals as no other writer can how the law and its mysterious rituals intersect with real life. In the process he also raises endlessly provocative questions about the meaning of the past and the long shadows it casts on the present.
