Life would seem to have gone well for George Mason. His days as a criminal defence lawyer (Personal Injuries) are long behind him. At fifty-nine, he as sat as a judge on the Court of Appeals in Kindle Country for nearly a decade. Yet, when a disturbing rape case is brought before him, the judge begins to question the very nature of the law and his role within it. What is troubling George Mason so deeply? Is it his wife's recent diagnosis? Or the strange and threatening emails he has started to receive? And what is it about this horrific case of sexual assault, now on trial in his courtroom, that has let him to question his fitness to judge?
In 'Limitations', Scott Turow, the master of the legal thriller, returns to Kindle Country with a page-turning entertainment that asks the biggest questions of all. Ingenuously, and with great economy of style, Turow probes the limitations not only of law, but of human understanding itself.
