À propos de cet audio

In San Francisco - a city of tolerance and hope - everything came apart. One man died at the hands of another. The next victim was killed by a mob. Now fires burn in the night, helicopters throb through the air, and politicians, lawyers and cops vie for the remnants of power.

Somewhere in the once-placid streets of San Francisco, a young man is on the run, charged by the media with a crime he didn't commit, hounded by demagogues, hunted by a desperate police department. One cop knows that Kevin Shea is innocent of a brutal racial murder. An ambitious politician will use Shea for her own ends. And a down-and-out lawyer is all that stands between Kevin Shea and an even more atrocious crime. For when there's no law left, justice is the only hope.

Enjoyable Audiobook

John Lescroart offers a story about a race riot/war in San Fransisco after a black man who murdered a white man is released.. igniting murderous passions. It evolves into an exploration of relationships between police detective Abe Glitsky & an old-flame opportunist politician.. and an engrossing fugitive tale.
I appreciated the twisty-turny plotting thoroughly, the sporadic cinematic courtroom drama is unsurpassed, and the author's grasp of psychological motivations for character actions is considerable.. but he also tends to overwrite - using a paragraph where a sentence would suffice. I found the book "above average" for the genre overall.

As to presentation: Reader David Colacci is obviously a professional - narrating the book with commendable diction, timbre, cadence, pacing, and tone - but his voice-acting on the recording is considerably subpar. Female character voices are poorly executed and the number of Good 'Ol Boy and Old South Swamp N-word accents in a San Francisco setting is baffling (and a little bit insulting). Brilliance Audio Inc. could have cast the project better.

'A Certain Justice' merits 6.5 stars out of 10. I can understand why Lescroart has a following - his grasp of justice & jurisprudence is praiseworthy - but I found the character development overdone and the romance elements handled with a heavy hand at times. Still, it's worth your Credit.
