In this sequel to the #1 New York Times bestseller Presumed Innocent, Rusty Sabich and Tommy Molto who are, once again, twenty years later, pitted against each other in a riveting psychological match after the mysterious death of Rusty's wife.
When Sabich, now sixty 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.

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
A man relives his darkest hour in this brilliant legal thriller. Many in Kindle County remember when Judge Rusty Sabich—then a prosecuting attorney—was tried for the murder of his mistress. After all, Rusty’s rabid fellow prosecutor Tommy Molto almost won the case. So when Rusty’s wife, Barbara, dies under suspicious circumstances over 20 years later, many reignite their old suspicions, especially Tommy. We loved the psychological angle of this courtroom thriller. Narrators Edward Herrmann and Orlagh Cassidy vividly lead us through chapters told from the POVs of Rusty; his son, Nat; his mistress, Anna; and Tommy himself. Through this smart approach, author Scott Turow helps us construct an idea of the case that’s as much about perception as it is about facts. That goes double for Rusty’s chapters, which force you to consider whether he’s sometimes being deceptive—even to himself. Best of all, when you finish Innocent you can dive into the full story of Rusty’s infamous first murder trial in Turow’s earlier novel Presumed Innocent.
