What this book is about
Scott Turow's 2010 sequel to the landmark legal thriller Presumed Innocent. Rusty Sabich, now a state appeals court judge, once again finds himself accused of murdering his wife — who has died under suspicious circumstances. Prosecutor Tommy Molto returns to build the case. A masterful revisiting of Turow's iconic characters with equally complex legal and psychological dimensions.
