Pleading Guilty

Description

Mack Malloy, ex-cop, not-quite-ex-drunk, and partner-on-the-wane in one of the country's most high-powered law firms. A longtime ally of the wayward, Mack is on the trail of a colleague, his firm's star litigator, who has vanished with more than five million dollars of a client's money. Soon Mack will descend into the enthralling and ominous heart of a city on his final, desperate, and courageous crusade to reinvent himself from the depths of his own shattered soul . . .

Scott Turow is the world-famous author of several bestselling novels about the law, from Presumed Innocent to Reversible Errors, as well as the wartime thriller Ordinary Heroes. He has also written an examination of the death penalty, Ultimate Punishment. He lives with his family outside Chicago, where he is a partner in the international law firm of Sonnenschein Nath & Rosenthal.

Turow's prose is powerful . . . a tough, vivid urban poetry, singing of ambition and corruption . . . an arresting performance. * New York Times *
