It would be unfair to give away too many of the turns that this case takes. Now, they've got a big one, handling the troubles for Police Chief Lucia Gomez-Barrera, who has been accused by three officers of trading sex for promotions. She's still quite a handful at 33, pierced and inked and working as a licensed private investigator for 52-year-old lawyer Rik Dudek, mostly on nickel-and-dime cases, bar fights and such. In bringing her back in full color, Turow has created one of contemporary fiction's most complicatedly arresting characters, one not easy to adore but impossible to ignore. In 'The Last Trial' Pinky was, after overcoming a drugged-out youth, working as a paralegal for her grandfather's law firm and 'a frequently infuriating employee.' Sandy's 'love for his granddaughter exceeds his understanding,' but he still thinks that she 'has a solid future as a private investigator.' Results have varied, with only a few finding Turow-like success and praise (John Grisham and David Ellis come most quickly to mind). His novel writing success has inspired a generation of attorneys to, so to speak, put pen to paper. He has also written nonfiction books, served as president of the Authors Guild, occasionally plays music for charity with that band of famous novelists known as the Rock Bottom Remainders, and contributes op-ed pieces to a variety of publications. attorney, was lead counsel in the Operation Greylord trial but later, in private practice, helped free an innocent man from death row and worked pro bono for years on wrongful convictions and capital punishment reform. Turow has also found time and energy - don't ask me how - to have a successful career as a lawyer who not only, as an assistant U.S.

Turow's 11 bestsellers together have sold more than 30 million copies and there are movie versions of 'The Burden of Proof,' 'Innocent,' 'Presumed Innocent' and 'Reversible Errors.' He remains at his best.Turow's books have arrived in a steady stream ever since, with Stern in roles large and small. meticulously constructed and superbly paced, full of twists and surprises.”
