Scott Turow
Robbie Feaver (pronounced "favor") is a charismatic personal injury lawyer with a high profile practice, a way with the ladies, and a beautiful wife (whom he loves), who is dying of an irreversible illness. He also has a secret bank account where he occasionally deposits funds that make their way into the pockets of the judges who decide Robbie's cases.
Robbie is caught by the Feds, and, in exchange for leniency, agrees to "wear a wire" as he continues to try to fix decisions. The FBI agent assigned to supervise him goes by the alias of Evon Miller. She is lonely, uncomfortable in her skin, and impervious to Robbie's charms. And she carries secrets of her own.
As the law tightens its net, Robbie's and Evon's stories converge thrillingly. Scott Turow takes us into, the world of greed and human failing he has made immortal in his past novels. Personal Injuries is a reverberant, moving drama about individuals trying to escape their characters.

What made the experience of listening to Personal Injuries the most enjoyable?
First, the story was excellent. It was involved but easy to follow and very enrapturing.Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
I was literally on the edge of my seat throughout the book.What about Mark Bramhall’s performance did you like?
The performance was the best ever heard by this reader. I felt like a very experienced lawyer or judge was actually narrating the book.If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
This is not a new book, but I had never read it before. I loved it. The tag line should be "a court system where corruption is so rampant, you can't tell the good guys from the bad!"if you are a lawyer or a judge, Read This Book!

Read this for the characters and their development.
Publishers Weekly says it better than I can.
“Turow has always been more interested in character than plot, and in Robbie Feaver, a lawyer on the make who ends up fighting for his life, he has created his richest and most compelling figure yet.
….for Feaver is a character of almost Shakespearean contradictions. A charming, brash womanizer who nevertheless shows superhuman reserves of love and patience to his dying wife at home, he is always several jumps ahead of the prosecutors, the FBI and the reader, winning sympathy, even admiration, where there should be none.”
