Chicago's own, practicing lawyer and creator of many Chicago-like Kindle County stories travels very far afield here. Bill Ten Boom leaves his Kindle County law practice, moves to the I.C.C. in the Hague, and investigates a war crime committed against Roma in Bosnia in 2004.
At about the half-way point, I gave up. I'm not certain if it's the book or my inability to move from domestic legal matters to Europe. The Times reviewer did say it "lacks the tautness of Turow's earlier thrillers, and one senses, a midlife author attempting, like his midlife character, to find meaning...." It did not work for me. And I might add that, unlike the latest from John Grisham, and Daniel Silva, it's nowhere on the best-seller lists.
