Life would seem to have gone well for George Mason. His days as a criminal defence lawyer are long behind him. At fifty-nine, he has sat as a judge on the Court of Appeals in Kindle County for nearly a decade. Yet, when a disturbing rape case is brought before him, the judge begins to question the very nature of the law and his role within it. What is troubling George Mason so deeply? Is it his wife's recent diagnosis? Or the strange and threatening emails he has started to receive? And what is it about this horrific case of sexual assault, now on trial in his courtroom, that has led him to question his fitness to judge? In "Limitations", Scott Turow, the master of the legal thriller, returns to Kindle County with a page-turning entertainment that asks the biggest questions of all. Ingeniously, and with great economy of style, Turow probes the limitations not only of the law, but of human understanding itself.

Le juge Mason se réveille chaque matin avec le sentiment d''être choyé par le destin. Pourtant, confronté à une décision délicate dans une affaire de viol particulièrement odieuse et ambiguë, il se p

Cuando Stewart Dubinsky, periodista jubilado, descubre que su padre, David Dubin, fue juzgado por un tribunal militar en 1945, decide adentrarse en el misterio que siempre ha rodeado la vida de su progenitor. Decidido a averiguar que ocurrio, Stewart consigue que su padre le relate sus experiencias durante la guerra. Como abogado agregado al tercer regimiento de Patty a finales de 1944, a David Dubin se le ordena investigar y arrestar al comandante Robert Martin, un elegante espia de la Oficina de Servicios Estrategicos acusado por el general de desobedecer ordenes, y de ser posiblemente un agente ruso. Sin embargo, David no lleva a cabo tal cometido. Martin se muestra esquivo, y los esfuerzos de Dubin para descubrir que se esconde tras su resistencia lo llevan a la Bastogne sitiada durante la batalla del Bulge y a un campo de concentracion recien liberado, donde David rescata del horror nazi a su futura esposa y comienza una comprometedora aventura con Gita, miembro polaco de la unidad de sabotaje de Martin. En Heroes corrientes, Scott Turow nos cuenta el horror de una guerra, con un dilema moral y una historia familiar como marco. Un trabajo de orfebreria, la reconstruccion de una vida esquiva y en clandestinidad. Un libro perfecto para empezar a leerlo el viernes por la noche. Alan Furst
