Micah Mortimer, la petite quarantaine routinière, coule des jours heureux dans un quartier tranquille de Baltimore. En voiture, au travail ou avec sa petite amie, il ne dévie jamais de sa route toute tracée ? jusqu'au jour où il trouve Brink Adams qui l'attend sur le pas de sa porte. Car l'adolescent fugueur en est sûr, Micah est son père biologique... Pour l'homme qui aimait ses habitudes, cette seconde chance sonne comme une malédiction.
There's no such thing as the perfect murder ? This is the question sports agent Myron Bolitar asks himself when two FBI agents come looking for his former client and rival, Greg Downing. Greg's DNA has been found at the scene of a recent high-profile double murder, and he is now the FBI's main suspect. But that's impossible. Greg died three years ago. Myron went to his funeral and gave the eulogy. But why would someone frame a dead man for murder ? Or is Greg Downing still alive ? The more Myron digs into this mystery, the more dangerous his world becomes...
Résumé : A lawyer's advice to his children as he defends the real mockingbird of Harper Lee's classic novel - a black man charged with the rape of a white girl. Through the young eyes of Scout and Jem Finch, Harper Lee explores with exuberant humour the irrationality of adult attitudes to race and class in the Deep South of the 1930s. The conscience of a town steeped in prejudice, violence and hypocrisy is pricked by the stamina of one man's struggle for justice. But the weight of history will only tolerate so much.
