Description
The "unputdownable courtroom drama" (Stephen King) and riveting sequel to the landmark bestseller Presumed Innocent, in which Tommy Molto and Rusty Sabich come head-to-head in a second murder trial.
Twenty years after Rusty Sabich and Tommy Molto went head to head in the shattering murder trial of Presumed Innocent, the men are once more pitted against one another in a riveting psychological match. When Sabich, now 60 years old and the chief judge of an appellate court, finds his wife Barbara dead under mysterious circumstances, Molto accuses him of murder for the second time, setting into motion a trial that is vintage Turow--the courtroom at its most taut and explosive. With his characteristic insight into both the dark truths of the human psyche and the dense intricacies of the criminal justice system, Scott Turow proves once again that some books simply compel us to read late into the night, desperate to know who did it.

2By davostanIn a word, tedious So slow paced and drawn out Stop at Presumed InnocentSad
5By Reader # 00Marriage is complex and so are awe human beings. Rusty lived with a woman who was emotionally unavailable but loved his son and thought it was best but for whom. Well written, complex and hard to put down. Recommend.Turow did it again!
5By jillhardy2Presumed Innocent was excellent but this book rocked! Loved all the twists and turns and the different perspectives of each character. Would make another great movie! I met Turow when I worked for the same law firm back in the 80’s and was in awe of his writing skills then and still am now. Keep going, Scott!Innocent by Scott Turow
5By PennykobyPresumed Innocent, his earlier book with same characters picks up his story 20 years later in Innocent. Both are stand alone but reading them is order is the way to go. Both are very suspenseful and you don’t know the ending until the final pages.Bad story

5By John EmraWhat a truly wonderful book Mr Turow has written. It is far more than an excellent legal thriller. It is a fascinating tale of relationships, marriage, love, children, and all that makes up the human condition. It is as riveting as Presumed Innocent - a page turner that you can't put down. More so though it is a remarkable story with characters who can be hard to like but who are all very real. I probably read a few dozen novels a year. This is by far the best I have read in years and easily makes it to the list of the very best I have ever read.Innocent
3By Bobbi WTurow writes well. His characters seemed a bit thin. Odd that his aloof and enigmatic son should be transformed into the family keystone. The plot twists kept me reading, but after a while seemed forced. I suppose it's just unfair the way life goes. What karma doesn't take out, the fickle finger of fate does. I doubt there will be a sequel.
