Yet, whena disturbing rape case is brought before him, the judge begins to question thevery nature of the law and his role within it. What is troubling George Masonso deeply? Is it his wife's recent diagnosis? Or the strange and threateningemails he has started to receive? And what is it about this horrific case ofsexual assault, now on trial in his courtroom, that has led him to question hisfitness to judge? In Limitations, Scott Turow, the master of the legalthriller, returns to Kindle County with a page-turning entertainment that asksthe biggest questions of all.
