This autobiographical account by Virginia Eugenia Henao, PABLO ESCOBAR's widow, is especially interesting in the sections where Colombia's history of terrible violence is revealed during the 1980's and early 1990's due to the power of the drug cartels in Colombia.

The scourge of drug trafficking unfortunately persists worldwide and is cause of widespread and damaging corruption especially in latinamerican countries.

An interesting cocktail of diverse contemporary events: political campaigns, including associated shenanigans and outright political corruption, family and personal secrets, domestic violence. ...
Events that unfortunately, for some people anyway, are part of our everday lives.

As one of the reviews on my Warner Books paperback copy says regarding THE BURDEN OF
PROOF: " Complex in matters of LAW, FINANCE, and THE HEART. ... A compelling drama that simmers beneath Turow's accomplished prose."

I'm especially enjoying ' the matters of the heart ' as well as ' the accomplished prose' .
