Testimony

From the bestselling author of Presumed Innocent comes Testimony, Scott Turow’s most twist-filled thriller to date.

Bill ten Boom has walked out on everything he thought was important to him: his career, his wife, even his country. Invited to become a prosecutor at The Hague’s International Criminal Court, it was a chance to start afresh.

But when his first case is to examine the disappearance of four hundred Roma refugees – an apparent war crime left unsolved for ten years – it’s clear this new life won’t be an easy one . . .

Whispered rumours have the perpetrators ranging from Serb paramilitaries to the U.S. Army, but there’s no hard evidence to hold either accountable, and only a single witness to say it happened at all.

To get to the truth, Boom must question the integrity of every person linked to the case – from Layton Merriwell, a disgraced US Major General, to flirtatious barrister, Esma Czarni – as it soon becomes apparent that every party has a vested interest and no qualms in steering the investigation their way . . .

De la autorul cel mai bine vandut al Presumed Innocent vine Testimony, cel mai plin de thriller al lui Scott Turow pana in prezent. Bill Ten Boom a iesit din tot ceea ce credea ca este important pentru el: cariera sa, sotia sa, chiar si tara sa. Invitat sa devina procuror la Curtea Penala Internationala de la Haga, a fost o sansa de a incepe din nou, dar cand primul sau caz este sa examineze disparitia a patru sute de refugiati romi - o crima de razboi aparenta lasata nerezolvata timp de zece ani - este clar ca acest nou viata nu va fi una usoara.
