In this "first-class legal thriller" and New York Times bestseller, two formidable men collide: Alejandro "Sandy" Stern, a celebrated criminal defense lawyer, and his lifelong friend Dr. Kiril Pafko, accused of murder.
At 85 years old, Stern is on the brink of retirement, with failing health but an intact spirit. When Pafko, a former Nobel Prize winner in Medicine, is charged with insider trading, fraud, and murder, Stern's decision to take on one last trial puts his entire life's work at stake.
As Stern delves into the case, he uncovers the truth behind Pafko's façade as a distinguished cancer researcher. The trial forces Stern to question everything he thought he knew about his friend. Despite Pafko's flaws, is he truly innocent of the charges against him? Stern must determine how far he is willing to go to save his friend and whether he will ever uncover the truth, regardless of the trial's outcome.
The courtroom becomes the ultimate test for Stern's duty to defend his client and his faith in the judicial system. The gap between evidence and reality challenges Stern in ways he never anticipated.
Scott Turow's The Last Trial offers profound insights into the intersection of human fragility and the legal system. This masterful legal thriller unfolds with gripping suspense, prompting readers to reflect on how we evaluate a life.
