Synopsis

From the #1 bestselling author of Presumed Innocent comes a gripping, suspenseful, deeply satisfying novel about corruption, deceit, and love.

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.

I know Robbie Feaver. Maybe you do, too — if you’re lucky. In my opinion, Robbie is among the most brilliantly — and lovingly — created characters in fiction. Robbie is a lawyer, a nice Jewish boy, handsome, sexy, funny, and a complex human being. “You could never count on him for honesty, assuming he......more

There is trouble afoot in the author‘s fictional Kindle County - specifically judiciary corruption. So the IRS, the “Feebs” and the local authorities place a compromised attorney - Robbie Feaver - undercover to flush out the gavel wielding crooks in black robes.

Robbie is a lawyer who got caught passing bribes to judges. They make a deal with him to wear a wire so they can convict the judges. Things get more and more dangerous-- but the story is more about Robbie's philosophy of life and his impact on those around him.. his own lawyer and the beautiful F.B.......more

Goodreads review by Craig on August 18, 2017

Personal Injuries takes readers once again to Kindle County, USA (somewhere in flyover country) and, in my view, back to the standard of Presumed Innocent. Within the first 1,000 words the Feds + IRS have turned a rich, successful, charming, womanizing personal injury lawyer, whom they wire up and e......more
