DESCRIPTION:
Robbie Feaver is a charismatic personal injury lawyer with a high profile practice, a way with the ladies, and a beautiful wife, who is dying of a fatal illness. The FBI agent assigned to supervise him goes by the alias of Evon Miller. Robbie is caught by the Feds, and, in exchange for leniency, agrees to "wear a wire" as he continues to fix decisions. Lonely, uncomfortable in her own skin, she is impervious to Robbie's charms. He also has a secret bank account where he occasionally deposits funds that make their way into the pockets of the judges who decide Robbie's cases. And she carries secrets of her own.

However it is a little bit slow in peace and a little bit wordy and descriptive passages for me.
Howard handles the complex plot deftly, easily relating the story of a defense attorney caught up in a sting operation targeting crooked judges. (Running time: 15 hours, 9 cassettes) --George Laney. Howard underscores these well-evolved personalities without calling attention to himself. Turow has taken his writing to a higher level, and the sturdy narration supports his efforts admirably. "Rumors of funny business had lingered in my more innocent moments I liked to discount them, believing that cronyism, not cash, explained the obvious favoritism." The story offers intriguing legal and moral ambiguities and surprising twists, but the strength of the characters is what sets this thriller apart. Veteran actor Ken Howard gives a solid performance narrating this exceptional legal thriller by genr
