À propos de cet audio

 In San Francisco - a city of tolerance and hope - everything came apart. One man died at the hands of another. The next victim was killed by a mob. Now fires burn in the night, helicopters throb through the air, and politicians, lawyers and cops vie for the remnants of power.

Somewhere in the once-placid streets of San Francisco, a young man is on the run, charged by the media with a crime he didn't commit, hounded by demagogues, hunted by a desperate police department. One cop knows that Kevin Shea is innocent of a brutal racial murder. An ambitious politician will use Shea for her own ends. And a down-and-out lawyer is all that stands between Kevin Shea and an even more atrocious crime. For when there's no law left, justice is the only hope.

John Lescroart offers a story about a race riot/war in San Fransisco after a black man who murdered a white man is released.. igniting murderous passions. It evolves into an exploration of relationships between police detective Abe Glitsky & an old-flame opportunist politician.. and an engrossing fugitive tale.
I appreciated the twisty-turny plotting thoroughly, the sporadic cinematic courtroom drama is unsurpassed, and the author's grasp of psychological motivations for character actions is considerable.. but he also tends to overwrite - using a paragraph where a sentence would suffice. I found the book "above average" for the genre overall.

As to presentation: Reader David Colacci is obviously a professional - narrating the book with commendable diction, timbre, cadence, pacing, and tone - but his voice-acting on the recording is considerably subpar. Female character voices are poorly executed and the number of Good 'Ol Boy and Old South Swamp N-word accents in a San Francisco setting is baffling (and a little bit insulting). Brilliance Audio Inc. could have cast the project better.

'A Certain Justice' merits 6.5 stars out of 10. I can understand why Lescroart has a following - his grasp of justice & jurisprudence is praiseworthy - but I found the character development overdone and the romance elements handled with a heavy hand at times. Still, it's worth your Credit.

Enjoyable Audiobook
