Returning with a gripping legal thriller is Scott Turow, the number-one New York Times best-selling author and deemed by NPR as "one of the major writers in America". The story revolves around Bill ten Boom, a former prosecutor at the age of 50, who has abandoned everything he once held dear - his law career, his wife, Kindle County, and even his country. However, when the International Criminal Court approaches him to investigate the mystifying disappearance of a refugee camp, Boom finds himself drawn to what will be the most elusive case of his career.
More than a decade ago, during the aftermath of the Bosnian war, an entire Roma refugee camp disappeared in chaos. Only one witness, Ferko Rincic, has now come forward, claiming that armed men led the camp's Gypsy residents to a cave one night, triggering an avalanche with a hand grenade that buried 400 people alive - with Ferko being the sole survivor. Boom's mission is to delve into Ferko's accounts and identify the perpetrators behind the Roma massacre.
His investigation takes him from the International Criminal Court headquarters in Holland to the streets and towns of Bosnia, as well as clandestine meetings in Washington, DC. Along the way, Boom navigates through a myriad of suspects, including Serb paramilitaries, organized crime syndicates, and even elements within the US government. He must also navigate the complex web of alliances and betrayals surrounding the case, involving key figures such as disgraced US major general Layton Merriwell, Sergeant Major Atilla Doby who was stationed near the camp during the disappearance, former Bosnian Serb leader Laza Kajevic, Ferko's captivating lawyer Esma Czarni, and Ferko himself - the linchpin of the entire investigation.
Scott Turow, renowned for his mastery of legal thrillers, delivers his most perplexing and gratifying novel to date with this intricate tale of justice and intrigue.
