Bestselling Author Scott Turow Talks About New Thriller

Crime fiction and legal thriller fans will enjoy an evening with bestseller Scott Turow ("Presumed Innocent") Monday, June 5, 8:00pm.

Bestselling crime fiction and legal thriller author Scott Turow will talk about his new novel Testimony on Monday, June 5, 2017, 8:00pm in Santa Monica. Paul Levine, author of the "Jake Lassiter" and "Solomon vs. Lord" legal thrillers will moderate.

Scott Turow is the author of ten bestselling works of fiction, including Identical, Innocent, Presumed Innocent, and The Burden of Proof, and two nonfiction books, including One L, about his experience as a law student. His books have been translated into more than 40 languages, sold more than 30 million copies worldwide, and have been adapted into movies and television projects. He has frequently contributed essays and op-ed pieces to publications such as the New York Times, Washington Post, Vanity Fair, The New Yorker, and The Atlantic.

Testimony has already received stellar reviews. Jeffrey Toobin (author of American Heiress) says,“Testimony is Scott Turow’s most ambitious and complex work -- which takes us from the gritty familiarity of his beloved Kindle County into a mysterious world of international intrigue. It’s the best kind of thriller, which stimulates the mind as well as thrilling the heart."
