A drive-by shooting of an aging white woman at a gang-plagued housing project sets the absorbing thriller in motion—from the #1 bestselling author of Presumed Innocent.
The victim of a drive-by-shooting turns out to be the ex-wife of a prominent state senator and an old acquaintance of Judge Sonia Klonsky. As the pursuit of justice takes bizarre and unusual turns, Judge Klonsky is brought face-to-face with a host of extraordinary personalities and formidable enemies bent on her destruction.
With its riveting suspense and indelibly drawn characters, The Laws of Our Fathers shows why Turow is not only the master of the modern legal thriller but also one of America's most engaging and satisfying novelists.

Paperback. Zustand: Good. The Laws of Our Fathers opens with a spectacular drive-by shooting in one of Kindle County's most notorious drug-plagued housing projects. The victim is an aging white woman who has never been seen there before; within days her son, Nile Eddgar, a probation officer, is charged in connection with the crime.
