'Scott Turow is master of the legal thriller' - The Guardian
From the godfather of the legal thriller, Presumed Innocent by Scott Turow is a gripping courtroom drama about ambition, hypocrisy and justice.
Carolyn Polhemus was an assistant prosecuting attorney, intelligent and full of promise. When she is found dead - assaulted and strangled - the curtain is pulled on a dark, tangled web of sex, corruption and betrayal.
Before long, prosecutor Rusty Sabich stands accused of her murder. He was having an affair with Carolyn - the motive seems clear-cut. With no one to trust, it is up to Rusty to uncover the truth behind this deadly crime - and prove his innocence in the process . . .
