Scott Turow's thrilling drama follows the fate of Rommy Gandolph, an inmate on death row for a triple murder in Kindle County, and the legal friends and foes who hold the keys to his fate. As Rommy nears execution, Arthur Raven, his reluctant court-appointed lawyer, learns of new evidence that may exonerate him. But they run up against Muriel Wynn, Kindle County's formidable chief deputy prosecuting attorney, and Larry Starczek, the original detective on the case, who believe Rommy deserves to die - for many reasons, not all of which have to do with Rommy. A lawyer himself, Turow takes us inside the courts and the law. His complex characters show us the human frailties, the ethical complications, and the personal and professional stakes involved in death penalty cases.
Reversible Errors demonstrates why Scott Turow is one of the most popular writers of legal thrillers. In his best novel since Presumed Innocent, Turow writes about attorney Arthur Raven, who is assigned to handle the last-minute appeal of death row inmate Rommy Gandolph. J. R. Horne's reading is superb. He provides subtle, yet critical, personality to each of Turow's well-defined characters. His portrayal of Erno Erdai, who offers a deathbed confession to the triple murders, highlights the novel, particularly when Erdai describes how and why the killings occurred. But this book is more than a story about whether Gandolph or Erdai committed the murders. It is a marvelous examination of how factors other than guilt and innocence impact the law, even life-and-death cases. Horne's subtle changes in inflection add the perfect complement to each character's emotions. D.J.S. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award (c) AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine
