His first two bestsellers, "Presumed Innocent" and "The Burden of Proof", were among the most spectacularly acclaimed blockbusters of recent years. Now, with "Pleading Guilty", Scott Turow has created what may be his most compelling character in his most accomplished story up to date. Returning to the now-renowned locale o Kindle County, Turow gives us Mack Malloy, ex-cop, not-quite-ex-drunk, and partner-on-the-wane in one of the county’s most high-powered law forms. 

          A longtime ally of the wayward, Mack is on the trail of a colleague, his firm’s star litigator, who has vanished with over five million dollars of a client’s money. Mack will descend into the enthralling and ominous heart pf a city … taking you with him on his final, desperate, and courageous crusade to reinvent himself from the depths of his own shattered soul.
