"George Mason's days as a criminal defense lawyer are long behind him. At fifty-nine, he has sat as a judge on the Court of Appeals in Kindle County for nearly a decade. Yet, when a disturbing rape case is brought before him, he begins to question the very nature of the law and his role within it. What is troubling George Mason so deeply?"@en
"Stephen Lang's low-key presentation fits Turow's protagonist, Judge George Mason. The judge has many years of distinguished service behind him and an election ahead of him. He must deal with a rape case, threatening emails, and a cancer-stricken wife, but he remains calm and rational--even when he's assaulted in a parking garage. It's easy to get caught up in the legal minutiae (the judgment document in the rape case comes complete with notes to an assistant) and miss Lang's subtle vocalizations. Mason's phone call to the female victim of a long-ago fraternity assault is made more poignant in audio."

"Ein Justizthriller wie ein perfekter Espresso kurz, stark, elektrisierend Richter George Mason steht mit dem Rücken zur Wand. Vor die Kammer seines Berufungsgerichts kommt der komplizierte Fall einer Vergewaltigung. Und ruft in Mason Erinnerungen an einen dunklen Fleck in seiner Vergangenheit wach. Zudem bedroht ihn ein anonymer EMailSchreiber mit dem Tod, wird immer aggressiver, und seine Frau erkrankt an einer tückischen Krebsart. Der Moment der Entscheidung im Vergewaltigungsfall rückt unaufhaltsam näher. Weglaufen kann Mason nicht. Und eine zweite Chance bekommt man nicht geschenkt. "Das ist mein Fall!", entfährt es George Mason unwillkürlich. Der Prozess der Mindy DeBoyer soll neu beurteilt werden vier Jahre nach einem Blackout auf einer Party hatte das Mädchen erfahren, dass sich mehrere Collegestudenten an ihr vergangen hatten, die daraufhin wegen Vergewaltigung verurteilt wurden. Nun legen die Täter Berufung ein, argumentieren, die Verjährungsfrist für ihr Verbrechen sei bereits abgelaufen. Der Frage, welcher Richter am Court of Appeal von Kindle County, Illinois, sich der Sache annimmt, kommt Mason zuvor. Das ist sein Fall. Was ihm jetzt schlaflose Nächte bereitet, geht über die verzwickte Rechtslage im Prozess Mindy DeBoyer weit hinaus. Es ist das hilflose Schweigen, das seine Frau Patrice und ihn seit der Krebsdiagnose befallen hat. Es ist die unverhohlene Morddrohung, die ein Unbekannter wie aus dem Nichts gegen ihn ausspricht. Und es ist die längst verbannt geglaubte Erinnerung an ein Mädchen, das vor über vierzig Jahren in eine ähnliche Situation wie Mindy geraten war. Zeuge wurde damals der Collegestudent George Mason. Oder vielleicht: Täter? Mit BEFANGEN legt der Meister des Legalthrillers Scott Turow einmal mehr einen modernen, intelligenten Kriminalroman vor, der abgründige Fragen über Schuld, Reue und Vergebung stellt. "Ein aufregender und rührender Justizthriller. Rasant, aber auch hemmungslos gefühlvoll.""

Is it his wife's recent diagnosis? Or the strange and threatening e-mails he has started to receive? And what is it about this horrific case of sexual assault, now on trial in his courtroom, that has led him to question his fitness to judge?"@en
