Reasonable Doubts by Gianrico Carofiglio – 288 p.
Good
legal suspense story translated from the original Italian. When criminal
defense attorney Guido Guerrieri is called upon to defend a childhood
archnemesis, he must re-evaluate long held feelings and assumptions. I especially
enjoyed immersing myself in the southern Italian setting.
“Fabio
Paolicelli has been sentenced to sixteen years for drug smuggling. The odds are
stacked against the accused: not only the fact that he initially confessed to
the crime but also his past as a neo-Fascist thug. It is only the intervention
of Paolicelli's beautiful half-Japanese wife that finally overcomes Guerrieri's
reluctance. Matters are further complicated when Guerrieri ends up in bed with
her.”
