In some ways, he just seems to get better, and his latest only further cements his place as one of the all-time greats. --The Real Book Spy Turow's new protagonist is a breath of fresh air. --Los Angeles Times Readers will be drawn into Suspect's narrative and their expectations challenged at each successive development in the case. With each new revelation about the players involved, readers will be left wanting to know more about them long after the book's . . . ending. --Mystery Scene magazine Satisfyingly fresh and creative . . . Turow has created one of contemporary fiction's most complicatedly arresting characters, one not easy to adore but one impossible to ignore. --Chicago Tribune Courtroom scenes remain gratifyingly sharp. --New York Times Pinky's unconventional, socially awkward narration offers a fresh take on sticky legal issues, and Turow's carefully paced, tight plotting complements her dedication to the long game. --Booklist Since Presumed Innocent rocked the publishing world, Scott Turow has cemented his status as a writer with few peers in any genre. Now the master is back with a brilliant courtroom chess match that shows us the human quotient in all its rot and virtue. The Last Trial is a first-class legal thriller. --David Baldacci, #1 New York Times bestselling author Since the '80s, readers have considered bestselling author Scott Turow a king in the legal thriller genre, and in Suspect, he does not disappoint. --The Big Thrill Telling this story through Pinky Granum's first-person eyes converts Suspect from a solid, well-plotted police-and-courtroom thriller into something unusually fresh and interesting . . . This is the stuff of a classic Turow thriller. --BookTrib Turow clearly had fun writing this one, and his fans will have fun reading it. --Kirkus Turow's a writer rather than just a plotter, as he demonstrates with his winning portrait of the protagonist of Suspect...

And make it personal.--New York Times on The Last Trial No one tells this sort of story better than Turow. No one has illuminated the human side of the legal profession with such precision and care. The Last Trial is Scott Turow at his best and most ambitious. He has elevated the genre once again.--Washington Post One of the major writers in America.--NPR Scott Turow set the gold standard for the modern legal thriller . . .
