Scott Turow’s first-hand knowledge of the American legal system informs his taut legal mysteries. His novels, including Presumed Innocent and Reversible Errors, explore the murky terrain of justice with a “brash, backroom sensibility” and his finely drawn characters face moral, ethical, and emotional challenges. Ordinary Heroes traces a son’s search for his father’s secret history - a history of terrible events and agonizing choices on the battlefields of WWII, in the courtroom, and in love.
