Two strong men meet in this gripping legal thriller by New York Times bestselling novelist Scott Turow: a well-known criminal defense attorney nearing the end of his career and his longstanding buddy, a famous doctor who is being investigated for murder.
Alejandro "Sandy" Stern is a talented defense attorney who is about to retire at the age of 85. His health is fading, but his spirit is unbroken. Stern chooses to take on one last trial when his old friend Dr. Kiril Pafko, a former recipient of the Nobel Prize in Medicine, is accused of insider trading, fraud, and murder. This puts his entire career in peril.
Stern pierces the brilliant exterior of his friend's status as a renowned cancer researcher in a case that will serve as the definitive conclusion to both men's outstanding lives. He will start to doubt everything he believed to be true about his friend as the trial goes on. Even with all of Pafko's shortcomings, does he really deserve to be accused of such horrible things? Regardless of the verdict of the trial, how far will Stern go to save his friend, and will he ever find out the truth?
The courtroom, where the truth and the facts are occasionally poles apart, is the last, horrible test for Stern's commitment to protect his client and his faith in the legal system.
Page-turning suspenseful legal thriller The Last Trial by Scott Turow explores how we measure a life and is full of profound insights into the areas where the court system and human frailty intersect.
