Pan, 2002 - Thriller - 433 pp. Scott Turow's compelling, multi-dimensional characters take the reader into Kindle County's parallel yet intersecting worlds of weary police, small-time crooks and ambitious lawyers. Corporate lawyer Arthur Raven is the court-appointed attorney for a Death Row inmate. Convinced his client is innocent thanks to new evidence, Raven is a fervent crusader--and also a rookie in the vicious world of criminal law. No other writer offers such a convincing true-to-life picture of how the law and life interact, or such a profound understanding of what is at stake--personally, professionally, and morally--when the state holds the power to end a man's life. Review: "No one on the contemporary scene writes better myster-suspense novels than Scott Turow." - -Bill Blum, Los Angeles Times Book Review "When Scott Turow writes about a milieu, he knows whereof he speaks. You know he made it up, but you also know it's real." - -George V. Higgins, Chicago Tribune "Turow brings a literary sensibility to a grit-and-gravel genre: if he calls to mind any comparison, it's to John le Carre. His novels are shaped by [a] studied bleakness, an introspect's embrace of the gray-zone ambiguities of modern life." - -Gail Caldwell, The Boston Sunday Globe "Turow is the class act of legal thriller writers." - -Publishers Weekly Free and discounted shipping on bulk purchases (postal and courier) within the RSA.

After a wealthy oilman plunges ten stories to his death from the balcony of a Miami hotel, Paz and the young cop who witnessed the fall discover a woman on her knees praying in the dead man's room. A motive and strong evidence point to the woman--Emmylou Dideroff--as the murderer, but she insists that she's innocent of the crime, while freely admitting her guilt in numerous other criminal acts and abominations. As her shocking confessions blur the lines between charity and vengeance, delusion and reality, Paz finds himself drawn once again into the unexplained... and into a collision with an evil of inconceivable power. Features Summary Miami detective Jimmy Paz returns and explores the nature of faith and madness in Gruber's brilliant follow-up to his debut thriller "Tropic of Night...
