Der etwas andere Anwaltsroman...: Um es kurz zu machen: Danke Mr. Turow für den wunderbaren Mack Malloy! Wer keine Lust auf die politisch korrekten und moralisch einwandfreien Anwaltstypen von Grisham und Co. hat ist hier genau richtig bedient. Der Hauptakteur ist ein Mensch mit sehr vielen Schwächen und einer lockeren Lebenseinstellung.Die Story dreht sich darum, dass Malloy, der nach seiner Polizeilaufbahn als Anwalt in einer Kanzlei sein Dasein als Mitläufer fristet, von seinen Chefs damit beauftragt wird einen verschwundenen Kollegen aufzuspüren. Es sieht so aus als sei dieser mit einem Treuhandvermögen der Kanzlei durchgebrannt. Ohne allzuviel Euphorie macht er sich auf die Suche und kommt dabei der Warheit sehr viel näher als vielen Lieb ist. Die Geschichte nimmt nach vielen Wendungen ein überaschendes Ende.. Wer pausenlos Action erwartet sollte die Finger von diesem Roman lassen. Aber jeder, der ausgefeilte Charaktere und Storys ohne Netz und doppellten Boden mag kann hier zugreifen.

A very good yarn with a credible, flawed hero at the core. Overegged the "Paddy" stereotype just a little but tthat doesn't take from it at all. ( )

A good legal thriller; not my favorite by this author, but one of his better ones. ( )

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0446365505, Mass Market Paperback)

The star litigator from a top-notch law firm has gone missing , along with 5.6 million dollars from a class-action settlement, and "Mack" Malloy, a foul-mouthed ex-cop and partner-on-the-wane must find both. Immediately. Turow's third novel takes us back to Kindle County, where skies are generally gray and the truth is seldom simple, in an edge-of-the-chair story rife with indelible characters and riveting suspense.
