From Barnes & NobleThis sequel picks up the thread of Presumed Innocent, Scott Turow's first and most beloved novel. The suspicious death of Rusty Sabich's wife once pits the straight-shooting workaholic against his arch nemesis, Tommy Molto. Advance word is that this novel lives up to its iconic original. Bound to be a major bestseller.
Jonathan YardleyThere are enough surprises…to keep the reader's attention fixed—Turow has always been very good at that—but as usual in his fiction there's more than skillful legal drama. Turow is a serious man who has thought long and carefully about the law. He understands that in the end it is not really much better than any other mechanism at uncovering absolute truth; that the courtroom is a roll of the dice…that life itself is a crapshoot…All of which makes for an intelligent, thoughtful novel: a grownup book for grownup readers.
