Reunited with his charismatic lawyer Sandy Stern, Rusty will do anything to convince his beloved son Nat of his innocence. But what is he hiding?

Reviews
It's more than 20 years since Scott Turow introduced us to Rusty Sabich, the flawed hero of his excellent debut courtroom thriller, Presumed Innocent. In this keenly anticipated sequel...Turow keeps the suspense ratcheted up in the gripping courtroom scenes and springs a succession of clever twists... First rate * Mail on Sunday *
One of this year's most rewarding thrillers... Compelling courtroom drama is once more combined with Philip Roth-like stylistic verve and psychological insight * Sunday Times 'Books of the Year' *
If the opening of this stylish court room thriller does not grip you like a vice, you must be very hard to please ... Scott Turow has consistently out-Grishamed, and this sequel to his 1987 bestseller Presumed Innocent sees him at full creative throttle ... the book is a terrific read, with hidden emotional depths * Sunday Telegraph *
Innocent is as gripping as a Grisham page-turner. Not only is it beautifully written and expert in its psychological probing, but it is as insightful about marriage, adultery and fatherhood as any one of Richard Ford or Philip Roth's studies of middle-aged men in crisis * Sunday Times *
Superb writing...An intelligent and superior page-turning read * The Times *
Innocent is a meticulously constructed and superbly paced mystery, full of twists and surprises and the sort of technical arcane on which the genre thrives. This is a lovely novel, gripping and darkly self-reflective. How can Scott Turow be doing this again? As the lawyers say, asked and answered * New York Times *
