When a beautiful and ambitious colleague is found murdered in her apartment, Rožat “Rusty” Sabich, chief deputy prosecutor of Kindle County, Illinois, takes over the case. But Carolyn Polhemus was not only a co-worker, she was also Rusty`s mistress. When the evidence in the case is revealed, Rusty moves from chief prosecutor to lead suspect; Soon, he is in court for his life. Is he an innocent bystander or a cold-blooded murderer? You won`t know until you turn the final pages of Scott Turow`s brilliant first novel, which combines deep philosophical ideas, authentic details about the inner workings of a big city courtroom, and a mysterious plot that sets the golden standard for the modern legal thriller. In this 1958 bestseller, often considered the first legal thriller, U.S. Army Lieutenant Frederic “Manny” Manion confesses to murdering an innkeeper, but claims the man raped his wife. When lawyer Paul Biegler learns that Manion has no memory of pulling the trigger, he pursues a new defense strategy: not to be guilty of an “irresistible impulse,” a version of temporary madness. The legal wrangling between Biegler and the prosecution is made even more convincing in reality by their solid foundation, proving that there are few places on Earth that are inherently more dramatic than a courtroom. Susan R.
Sloan`s Guilt by Association is a provocative legal thriller that remains just as exciting and captivating more than 20 years after its first release. This is the amazing story of Karen, a woman struggling to recover after a vicious rape traumatized her. It`s her story of how she overcame her trauma, rebuilt her life, and ultimately confronted the man who tried to take everything away from her. At this point, with about a million copies of Bolton`s book printed, it`s unclear how aggressively the administration will pursue the case, as a fierce legal battle would help keep the book in the headlines during election season. In addition, the litigation would also take the government`s pre-publication review process to court, including the allegation that the Trump administration abused the administration`s review process to remove books that threaten to embarrass the president. Let John Grisham turn Xerox-ing into a scary adventure. Few authors would attempt such a feat, but on the other hand, few authors have published a new international bestseller every year for the past 30 years. Grisham`s incredible success story began with this story of a Harvard Law School graduate uncovering dirty secrets at a law firm in Memphis. With the FBI, the mafia, and the company`s murderous security chief sitting on his neck, Mitch McDeere makes a jump — where else? – the Xerox machine. With its frantic pace and acute awareness of the temptations that come with the power to circumvent the law at your leisure, The Firm brought Grisham into the stratosphere of thriller writers. Set in a small Town in New Mexico in 1923, this New York Times bestseller dramatizes the conflict between border justice and the ethical demands of the modern courtroom.

But a shocking turn of events will force Lewis to reckon not only with his duty to the law, but also with his own destiny.

From international blockbusters to hidden gems, these classics offer an unbeatable drama in the courtroom without you having to sign up for jury service. In a 44-page legal memorandum, Bolton argues that he was in fact not required to submit his manuscript for review by government officials prior to publication, but that he did so out of “a plethora of caution.” What followed, according to submissions, was “a thorough and iterative investigation” with Ellen Knight, NSC`s executive director of records management, access and information security, a process that “took nearly four months” and the 500-page manuscript was scoured “in four waves, page by page and often line by line,” leading to “a variety of revisions”. John Bolton`s book The Room Where It Happened is a #1 bestseller, but the author`s legal battle against the government is not over yet. In a July 16 petition, the former U.S.
National Security Advisor, who is still tempted to seize his royalties (as well as possible criminal charges), asked a federal court in Washington DC to dismiss the DOJ`s remaining civil case against him, arguing that he did not violate any of its non-disclosure agreements — but even if the court finds otherwise, Bolton says the agreements are too broad and unconstitutional. When Billy, a Princeton junior, is arrested for attacking his ex-girlfriend, Cassie returns home to Manhattan to find her older brother Nate and his parents, Lawrence and Eleanor.
