The Final Case

內容簡介

內容簡介 特權、正義與人生真諦 銀髮律師的終結戰以《愛在冰雪紛飛時》獲得美國筆會福克納獎的大衛．古特森，再次挑戰法庭小說！西雅圖八旬刑事律師羅約退休前接下最後一樁案件。白人夫妻戴文與貝慈．哈維是保守的基要派基督徒。一個下著大雨的深夜，他們領養的衣索比亞女孩死在住家後門外的幾英尺遠處——哈維夫婦被控謀殺。羅約沒有駕照，開庭前兒子開車載著他四處查訪，做辯護的準備⋯From the award-winning, best-selling author of Snow Falling on Cedars—a moving father-son story that is also a taut courtroom drama and a bold examination of privilege, power, and how to live a meaningful life.A girl dies one late, rainy night a few feet from the back door of her home. The girl, Abeba, was born in Ethiopia. Her adoptive parents, Delvin and Betsy Harvey—conservative, white fundamentalist Christians—are charged with her murder. Royal, a Seattle criminal attorney in the last days of his long career, takes Betsy Harvey’s case. An octogenarian without a driver’s license, he leans on his son—the novel’s narrator—as he prepares for trial. So begins The Final Case, a bracing, astute, and deeply affecting examination of justice and injustice—and familial love. David Guterson’s first courtroom drama since Snow Falling on Cedars, it is his most compelling and heartfelt novel to date."
