About this listen

The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Presumed Innocent and The Last Trial returns with a riveting legal thriller in which a reckless private detective is embroiled in a fraught police scandal.

For as long as Lucia Gomez has been the police chief in the city of Highland Isle, near Kindle County, she has known that any woman in law enforcement must walk a precarious line between authority and camaraderie to gain respect. She has maintained a spotless reputation—until now. Three male police officers have accused her of soliciting sex in exchange for promotions to higher ranks. With few people left who she can trust, Chief Gomez turns to an old friend, Rik Dudek, to act as her attorney in the federal grand jury investigation, insisting to Rik that the accusations against her are part of an ugly smear campaign designed to destroy her career and empower her enemies—both outside the police force and within.

Clarice “Pinky” Granum spent most of her youth experimenting with an impressive array of drugs and failing out of various professions, including the police academy. Pinky knows that in the eyes of most people, she's nothing but a screwup—but she doesn't trust most people's opinions anyway. Moreover, she finally has a respectable-enough job as a licensed P.I. working for Rik on his roster of mostly minor cases, like workman's comp, DUIs and bar fights. Rik's shabby office and even shabbier cases are a far cry from the kinds of high-profile criminal matters Pinky became familiar with in the law office of her grandfather, Sandy Stern. But Rik and Pinky feel that Chief Gomez’s case, which has attracted national attention, is their chance to break into the legal big leagues.

Guided by her gut instinct and razor-sharp investigative skills, Pinky dives headfirst into a twisted scandal that will draw her into the deepest recesses of the city’s criminal networks, as well as the human mind. But she will need every scrap of tenacity and courage to unravel the dark secrets those closest to her are determined to keep hidden.

I was excited when this book was released ; however, it didn’t take long for disappointment to take over. It’s like an average writer tried to imitate Turow’s writing. Cliches and a mediocre story were nothing like the author’s earlier work.

Not what I expect from Turrow

This story kept me interest throughout the entire book. The narrator was good, and it was easy to establish which character was speaking. Highly recommend!

Enjoyable Book

Turow never ceases to amaze me with his character development and writing. This was not at all like his prevous books. In fact, I never would have guessed this was written by Turow if I hadn't known already. What I really like about Turow is that his books are not formulaic which especially applies to this book. The central character is really different and I liked that she is a woman. This book shows that Turow really gets women, and people in general.

Unlike any of Turow's previous books

Another excellent Turow novel. Totally engaging, feels authentic, fascinating characters, very well written, impossible to put down. There's nobody like him. Cleverly, imaginatively plotted but never feels contrived. The best courtroom novelist by far.

Still terrific

First Turow book for me. It was good, the narration was really well done. The storyline was pretty good. The ending was so so. It’s a long listen, definitely some unneeded narrative in it.

Thank you, Mr. Turow!

Not one of his greatest works. Didn’t disappoint me, but the storyline was less compelling.

Scott Turow’s Pinky is a Sheri for our time. I love her goofy outlook, her self-awareness, and her mad sleuthing skills. More Pinky, please.

Pinky’s here

Good story- only criticism is the narration which is sometimes robotic. Otherwise excellent and maybe a new series?
