DESCRIPTION:
The woman turns out to be the ex-wife of a prominent state senator and an old acquaintance of Judge Sonia Klonsky, on whose desk the case lands. 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.. In Kindle County, a woman is killed in an apparent random drive-by shooting
At the close of legal-thriller novelist Scott Turow's second book, The Burden of Proof, Sonia Klonsky was a young prosecutor in Kindle County Courthouse with a failing marriage, an infant daughter, and a single mastectomy. .

Legal but not thrilling John C. Since I loved his earlier books, I was very disappointed by the excruciatingly slow pace of this one.

After reading it, not sure what it is. I have enjoyed Turow's past books, but not this one. Not sure why I finished it. I would give it fewer than one star were that possible. Do not recommend this book.
