But few will question the fundamental honesty (or emotional wallop) of "Faith of My Fathers," in which the presidential candidate recounts his family's naval legacy and the long ordeal of his Hanoi imprisonment. "Personal Injuries" by Scott Turow Running time: 15 hours, 9 cassettes; unabridged http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0375408258/entertainmentsit After three years' absence, Scott Turow returns to Kindle County with his new novel, "Personal Injuries." Handsome, charming, seemingly amoral attorney Robbie Feaver has been bribing local judges for years. When the U.S. Attorney's office confronts him with their knowledge of his little slush fund, they make him an offer he can't refuse: they want to use him to get to the judge who operates the city's web of legal corruption. Feaver and a female FBI agent with secrets of her own construct a many-layered trap that holds more surprises than any other plot Turow has ever presented.
