The Simple Truth, (Paperback)

Two brothers who are also lawyers who don't get along as they used to, loved and respected to different degrees by their parents; justices of the Supreme Court with different outlooks on society who decide their cases according to their world views rather than the specifics of the individuals involve, an army private incarcerated in a military prison for twenty five years whose probable innocence of the strangling of a little girl once revealed could ruin the reputations of prominent public figures combine to weave a complex story at the pinnacle of American society. As with any David Baldacci novel the reader learns things he may no otherwise know. This time it is the inner workings of the Supreme Court that figure deeply in the lives of the characters. The resolutions of the mysteries won't be a simple straight line and however circuitous the road, you can be sure that Baldacci will keep you enthralled right up until the very end.
