Testimony
Autor Scott Turowen Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 noi 2018
At
the
age
of
fifty,
Bill
ten
Boom
has
walked
out
on
everything
he
once
thought
was
important:
Kindle
County,
his
law
career,
even
his
wife.
Still,
when
he
is
tapped
by
the
International
Criminal
Court--an
organization
that
prosecutes
crimes
against
humanity--he
is
compelled
by
a
mystifying
case.
Over
ten
years
ago,
in
the
chaos
following
the
Bosnian
war,
a
Roma
refugee
camp
vanished
overnight.
Now
a
witness
has
finally
stepped
forward:
Ferko
Rincic
claims
that
armed
men
marched
the
camp's
400
residents
to
a
cave
and
then
set
off
an
avalanche
with
a
hand
grenade,
burying
them
alive.
Only
Ferko
survived.
Boom's
task
is
to
investigate
Ferko's
claims,
taking
him
from
the
Court's
base
in
Holland,
to
Bosnian
villages,
to
secret
meetings
in
Washington,
DC,
as
he
sorts
through
the
alliances
and
treacheries
of
those
involved:
a
disgraced
US
major
general,
members
of
the
US
military,
the
brutal
former
leader
of
the
Bosnian
Serbs,
Ferko's
seductive
barrister,
and
of
course,
Ferko
himself,
on
whose
testimony
the
entire
case
rests--and
who
may
know
more
than
he's
telling.

Recenzii
"This
is
at
once
a
thriller,
a
story
of
middle-aged
angst,
an
exposition
of
international
law
and
an
exploration
of
an
intensely
serious
and
very
nasty
episode
in
recent
history...admirable
and
important."—New
York
Times
Book
Review
"The real pleasure of the new novel lies not so much in solving the mystery of the massacre as in watching Turow knock down assumption after assumption made by Boom--and the reader. In fact, I can't think of another novel in which so many givens end up being exposed as either honest mistakes or outright lies. TESTIMONY is a tour de force of collapsing perceptions."—Washington Post

"Follows twists and turns, shifting alliances, and a near-fatal confrontation... [TESTIMONY] is exciting and consistent with Turow's prior novels."—The Missourian
"A complex and haunting tale of war crimes that will not only satisfy his courtroom drama devotees but also readers of international thrillers."—Library Journal
