Overview

Tutto quello che Stewart Dubinsky ha sempre saputo di suo padre è che nella Seconda guerra mondiale, partito per l'Europa, aveva salvato sua madre dal campo di concentramento. Uomo enigmatico e distante, l'ex soldato si era sempre rifiutato di parlare in famiglia della sua esperienza bellica. Ma, dopo la sua morte, Stewart trova un pacco di lettere indirizzate a una fidanzata di cui nessuno sapeva nulla. Leggendole scopre che suo padre era stato giudicato dalla Corte marziale per aver lasciato fuggire un ufficiale dell' OSS che avrebbe invece dovuto arrestare. Cosa si nascondeva dietro a un fatto così grave? Per scoprirlo Stewart dovrà scavare nel passato, riportando alla luce in tutta la loro violenza i terribili eventi di quegli anni e le scelte drammatiche che hanno sconvolto l'esistenza di quegli "eroi normali" che hanno combattuto nel più brutale dei conflitti. E la vicenda personale di Dubinsky - fatta di coraggio, tradimento e passione - diventa riflessione sulla brutalità della guerra.

Scott Turow
Scott Turow
A lawyer-turned-writer acknowledged to be every bit as good as Grisham, if not better, Scott Turow is still working hard at turning out believable, complex legal thrillers -- and still working hard in the legal practice that fuels his writing.

Biography

In addition to writing cinematic legal thrillers like Presumed Innocent (1987), Reversible Errors (2002), and Limitations (2006), lawyer Scott Turow has also drawn upon his personal and professional experience for thought-provoking nonfiction that includes One L (1977), an account of his freshman year at Harvard Law, and Ultimate Punishment (2003), a reflection on capital punishment. His essays and op-ed pieces have appeared in the Washington Post, The Atlantic, The New Yorker, and other distinguished publications. In 2005, he forayed into historical fiction with Ordinary Heroes, an emotionally resonant novel inspired by his father's experiences in World War II. A practicing attorney with experience in both civil and criminal law, Turow has become involved in extensive pro bono work on death penalty cases.

Good To Know

Turow rarely writes his novels in a linear fashion from beginning to end. Instead, he sketches out individual scenes and then figures out where they fit into the grand scheme of a story.

Turow may be a bestselling author who has sold roughly 25 million books worldwide, but this crusading attorney has yet to give up his day job!

Don't let that "F" on your report card deter you from a writing career; just look at Turow, who flunked freshman English in high school, but whose shelves are currently lined with literary awards.
