Turow shot to fame with his stunning Presumed Innocent (1987) and has not, in my opinion, bettered it.  Now he has changed direction from the court room drama to the Second World War and an impressive work.  It concerns a grieving son investigating the reason for his father’s court martial in 1945.  With the customary descriptions of buckets of blood, battered brains and flying body parts, it is a powerful work of honour, integrity and guilt.  A dreadful time brought vividly to life.

Similar this month: None but try Martin Davies.
Comparison: Sebastian Faulks, Ben Elton, Erich Maria Remarque.
