Description
The #1 bestselling legal thriller that inspired the record-breaking television series of the same name, starring Jake Gyllenhaal. "Spellbinding. Relentless. The work of a profoundly gifted author." --New York Times New York Times bestselling author Scott Turow presents our worst nightmare: that of an ordinary citizen facing conviction for the most terrible of all crimes. Rusty Sabich, family man and the number two prosecutor of Kindle County, is handed an explosive case--the brutal murder of a woman who happens to be his former lover. A shocking turn of events suddenly transforms him from the accuser into the accused. Presumed Innocent is a stunning portrayal of one man's all-too-human, all-consuming fatal attraction for a passionate woman who is not his wife, and the story of how his obsession puts everything he loves and values on trial--including his own life. It's a book that lays bare a shocking world of betrayal and murder, as well as the hidden depths of the human heart. And it will hold you and haunt you ... long after you have reached its shattering conclusion.Staff Reviews
I'm really enjoy a good legal thriller and decided to pick up Presumed Innocent based on the recommendation by our store manager. Rusty Sabich is a prosecutor whose co-worker Carolyn is brutally murdered. He takes on the case, even though he's a bit too personally invested, as he and Carolyn had an affair previously. Before he knows it, he becomes the prime suspect and is now in the fight for his life. The book has excellent pacing and I've been turning the pages quickly. Luckily the author recently came out with a new book, Presumed Guilty, which I for sure plan to read!
