À propos de cet audio

Two formidable men collide in this "first-class legal thriller" and New York Times best seller about a celebrated criminal defense lawyer and the prosecution of his lifelong friend - a doctor accused of murder (David Baldacci).

At 85 years old, Alejandro "Sandy" Stern, a brilliant defense lawyer with his health failing but spirit intact, is on the brink of retirement. But when his old friend Dr. Kiril Pafko, a former Nobel Prize winner in Medicine, is faced with charges of insider trading, fraud, and murder, his entire life's work is put in jeopardy, and Stern decides to take on one last trial.

In a case that will be the defining coda to both men's accomplished lives, Stern probes beneath the surface of his friend's dazzling veneer as a distinguished cancer researcher. As the trial progresses, he will question everything he thought he knew about his friend. Despite Pafko's many failings, is he innocent of the terrible charges laid against him? How far will Stern go to save his friend, and - no matter the trial's outcome - will he ever know the truth?

Stern's duty to defend his client and his belief in the power of the judicial system both face a final, terrible test in the courtroom, where the evidence and reality are sometimes worlds apart.

Full of the deep insights into the spaces where the fragility of human nature and the justice system collide, Scott Turow's The Last Trial is a masterful legal thriller that unfolds in pause-resisting suspense - and questions how we measure a life.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Narrator John Bedford Lloyd previously portrayed attorney Alejandro 'Sandy' Stern in Scott Turow's Burden of Proof. This time around, the brilliant defense lawyer is about to defend his last client. Lloyd adds a weariness and a touch of confusion to Stern's voice as he struggles to defend the 75-year old doctor who saved his life with a controversial cancer drug.... Filled with bittersweet reflections on aging and family, this audiobook still manages to pull the rug out from the listener once again." (AudioFile Magazine)

"America's very best creator of legal thrillers." (Chicago Tribune)

"Serious readers should be reading Turow, because he is not just one of our best crime novelists; he is also one of our better novelists...What Turow has done, in book after book, is to give us page turners that are also pleasing literary artifacts, mysteries that are also investigations into complicated social questions and complex human emotions." (New York Times)

"The master of the courtroom drama." (Daniel Silva, number-one New York Times best-selling author)

Turow’s Best

Sandy’s closing argument chapter 32 is skillful and I am sure took many hours in its creation.
How it empowers the jury, how it deals with the concept of reasonable doubt and how it is gives one trust in Sandy and makes him likeable is a masterpiece.
The narration in the audio format is equal to the task. Ihave listened to it many times.
It would have been interesting to hear the prosecutor’s arguments.
Turow is by far the leader in legal fiction since he is able to mix great storytelling with legal realism
