DESCRIPTION:
Arthur Raven, more versed in corporate law than criminal defense, is not eager to accept the court-appointed task of handling death-row inmate "Squirrel" Gandolph's last-minute appeal of his murder conviction. Fast approaching middle age, Arthur has come to terms with the burdens and disappointments of his life, among which are a schizophrenic sister for whom he is responsible and the realization that he will probably never make an enduring connection with a woman. This is a tour de force for a novelist writing at the top of his game. But when evidence surfaces that might exonerate his client, he rises
Rommy "Squirrel" Gandolph is a Yellow Man, an inmate on death row for a 1991 triple murder in Kindle County. Muriel and Larry Starczek, the original detective on the case, don't want to see Rommy escape a fate they long ago determined he deserved, for a host of reasons. His slow progress toward certain execution is nearing completion when Arthur Raven, a corporate lawyer who is Rommy's reluctant court-appointed representative, receives word that another inmate may have new evidence that will exonerate Gandolph.Arthur's opponent in the case is Muriel Wynn, Kindle County's formidable chief deputy prosecuting attorney, who is considering a run for her boss's job. Scott Turow's compelling, multi-dimensional characters take the reader into Kindle County's parallel yet intersecting worlds of police and small-time crooks, airline executives and sophisticated scammers--and lawyers of all stripes. No other writer offers such a convincing true-to-life picture of how the law and life interact, or such a profound understanding of what is at stake--personally, professionally, and morally--when the state holds the power to end a man's life.. Further complicating the situation is the fact that Gillian Sullivan, the judge who originally found Rommy guilty, is only recently out of prison herself, having served time for taking bribes
Symphonic set-up and development, but weak finish The word going through my mind as I was reading this book was "symphonic"--Turow sets up an ensemble of characters whose relationships to each other are intricate, interesting, and very human. That is one of his great strengths as an author.Unfortunately, the storyline was much less sharp i. Who Cares? AntiochAndy Several years in the past, "Squirrel" Gandolph was convicted of a nasty triple murder. Now, he is on death row awaiting execution. His conviction, it appears, was based on circumstantial evidence and a signed confession. Squirrel, however, is mentally challenged. Is his confession legitimat. The Master of the Legal Thriller Stays at the Top Scott Turow delivers another powerful tale of legal - and human -suspense in REVERSIBLE ERRORS, which traces the 1991 conviction and 2001 appeals of a triple-homicide convict on death row. As with all of his fiction, Turow weaves a compelling tale not only of legal twists, but also personal
