Testimony by Scott Turow

Boom is hired to work for the International Criminal Court-an organization charged with prosecuting crimes against humanity-where he pursues a possible massacre of Gypsies in the wake of the Bosnian war.  The book scans the globe from business meetings in Holland to on-site explorations in Bosnia to back door meetings in DC.  Its fast-paced and entertaining, technical enough to draw you in, not so Clancy-complicated that you lose focus.  I've read Turow before and my recollection is that I like his stuff.  I was not disappointed.  Winner of a Pulitzer?  Probably not.  But he's not a best selling author for nothing, and this one was better than most that claim that accolade.  Pick it up at the airport for a long flight-you won't be disappointed.

Rating:  #3 Enjoyed It Very Much.
