Description

NOW AN APPLE ORIGINAL SERIES  FROM APPLE TV STARRING JAKE GYLLENHAAL

From #1 New York Times bestselling author and hailed as the most suspenseful and compelling novel in decades, this story brings to life 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... and plunges him into a nightmare world where nothing seems real and no one can be PRESUMED INNOCENT.

It's the 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.

  • Far Better Than The TV Series!

    I don’t know that there’s anything I can say about this book that hasn’t been said in the nearly 40 years since this release. I will add this though. The book is FAR better than the series that was produced. The series is a shambles in comparison and hardly recognizable against the source material. The book is gripping, especially the courtroom scenes. I’d highly recommend reading it first before you bother with the series, and you might even want to just skip the series honestly. I only wish I had read the book far sooner, it’s a page turner and an outstanding legal procedural.

    Presumed Innocent, which tells the complicated story of a renowned prosecutor who is charged with the murder of his colleague with whom he had an affair, is absolutely fascinating. Decorated with some of the most beautiful words in the English language, and vividly descriptive scenes of passion, sensuality, and law, it was evidently written by the pen of a masterful and extraordinarily talented author. All 602 pages of this story are captivating and will arrest all of your attention.

    Each character is unique and intriguing, as every one of them has prominent flaws and strengths, and they are all portrayed so well and intricately. The emotions of the characters are spilt impressively throughout the pages.

    The sensual scenes are incredibly vivid, romantic and poetic, and would have made Shakespeare blush. The physical chemistry that was evident between Carolyn and Rusty was written with flawless eloquence.

    The courtroom scenes are powerful and emotional, as Mr. Turow's knowledge of and familiarity with the law inspires a beautiful impact in the dramatic yet realistic portrayal of the American criminal justice system.

    Overall, Presumed Innocent is filled with invigorating scenes of sexuality, emotional courtroom arguments, thrilling mystery and intrigue, and gorgeously alluring characters. I would highly recommend it to anyone considering its purchase. You will not regret it.

  • Well-Developed.

    Although parts of this book seemed to drag and be choppy, in the end it felt to be a well-crafted story with decent character development and plausible legal wrangling.
