The Last Trail by Scott Turow

4 stars
​A well seasoned trial attorney, Sandy Stern knows this is his last trial. He also knows it isn't a case he would have taken except that it is defending an old friend who gave him a life changing cancer drug, ironically the same drug that the friend is now accused of altering data on. Dr. Patko is on trial for having hidden sudden death data related to his drug, insider stock trades and murder of those that suddenly died while on the drug trials. This is not only a top notch trial drama but there is an interesting tie into the case that shows Sandy may have gotten mixed up in learning more secrets than he bargained for. I enjoyed the family influence of Sandy and his daughter being law partners and his granddaughter as an investigator/office assistant. A must for readers of Grisham, Dugoni and of course, other Scott Turow books.
