Book Log 2018 #5: Testimony by Scott Turow
Set slightly outside of Kindle County, this book follows a former prosecutor who is hired by the International Criminal Court to investigate a claim that a Roma refugee camp was intentionally buried under an avalanche during the Bosnian war, killing hundreds. With one living witness and a cast of supporting characters - none of whom seem to have a fully objective interest in learning the truth - the prosecutor sets out to see who he can trust and what, if anything, he can learn about the final disposition of the camp.
I did like this book, just maybe not as much as the books that cleanly fit in the legal genre mode. Not sure if that's more to do with the author or with me.
