Publisher Description

To Robbie Feaver the law is all about making a play-to a client, a jury, or a judge. But when the flashy, womanizing, multimillion-dollar personal injury lawyer is caught offering bribes, he's forced to wear a wire. Even as the besieged attorney looks after his ailing wife, Feaver must also make tapes that will hurl his friends, his enemies, his city, and a particular FBI undercover agent into a crisis of conscience and law. Now Robbie Feaver is making the play of his life.

"Very procedurally oriented, I kept waiting for some action but none arrived. The dealing and double dealing, mistrust of government with the good guys being as duplicitous as the bad guys give it a uniquely American tone. The lead character, Rob Feaver, is the most sympathetic of the players, but he is the one who seems to have committed the crimes as a government task force investigates corruption amongst judges in a fictitious American city. There are almost no judges who are not considered corrupt or worth corrupting. The main villain remains out of the limelight and is never caught."

— Barry (4 out of 5 stars)

    " The last of the Kindle County Legal Thrillers in my collection. Started slow but built as it went along. Another great example of Turow's character development. Not wild about the ending, but getting there was sort of fun. May be more entertaining than Pleadin Guilty. "

    " A great legal thriller. Even though its old, the story is still fresh - especially considering what's going on in the City of Detroit with Monica Conyers! "

    " Turow is one of my favorite legal authors. here he has Robbie Feaver, a personal injury lawyer who has made an art form of taking bribes. Good mindless read. "

    " I have no idea why it took me so damned long to read this book, but it did. The characters were interesting and the plot moved along nicely, but I just couldn't get through more than about 20 pages at at time. "

    " It took some time to get into, but Turow did a wonderful job of bringing the characters -- some of whom appear in other Kindle County books -- to life. Every character had his or her flaws; the "bad" guy was really pretty nice, the "good" guy was an asshole. Stick with it, it's worth the time. "

    " I have been a big fan of Scott Turow ever since "Presumed Innocent," but this legal drama about an FBI sting operation to catch corrupt judges is just boring. "

    " I felt that Mr Turow included too much minutia for my taste. The story wasn't all that compelling and he took over 500 pages to tell it. There were moments I truly enjoyed, so gave the book 2 1/2 stars. I bought several of his books and am hoping all are not so filled with legal details. "

    " My audio book club shipped this by mistake, but since I liked a movie that was based on a Turow novel (Presumed Innocent?), I thought I'd give it a listen. It was pleasant enough, if you like legal procedurals. "

    " The publishers description says it all for me, e.g., "This the story of a defense attorney caught up in a sting operation targeting crooked judges. The story offers intriguing legal and moral ambiguities and surprising twists, but the strength of the characters is what sets this thriller apart". "

    " Just re-read this book and was reminded just good Scott Turow is. I was all a-dither when he first started publishing, couldn't wait to get his next book - and somehow over the years, fell away. Re-reading this one brought me back into the fold. On to re-read another of his works. "
