From the #1 bestselling author of Presumed Innocent, a twisty legal thriller that's full of surprises.
State Senator Paul Giannis is a candidate for Mayor of Kindle County. His identical twin brother Cass is newly released from prison, twenty-five years after pleading guilty to the murder of his girlfriend, Dita Kronon.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Bestseller Turow (Innocent) is not at the top of his game in this contrived whodunit. In 2008, Paul Gianis, an Illinois state senator, is leading in the race to become mayor of Kindle County, but a decades-old tragedy threatens to scuttle his political ambitions. In 1982, Dita Kronon, the girlfriend of his identical twin brother, Cass, was beaten to death. Cass pleaded guilty to the crime, but on his release after 25 years in prison, Dita's affluent brother, Hal, alleges that Paul was also involved in the murder. Paul files a lawsuit for defamation, hoping to minimize the damage to his political prospects, but he can't stop Hal's investigators from unearthing deeply buried secrets. Assured prose (e.g., "Mario Cuomo said you campaign in poetry and govern in prose, but as far as Paul could tell they were both trips to the abattoir, just different entrances") compensates only in part for an overly intricate solution likely to disappoint even diehard Turow fans. 5-city author tour.
