Synopsis

From its first page to its chilling end, Presumed Innocent is a deeply provocative book about the ways of justice. It tells the story of the chief deputy prosecuting attorney in a large Midwestern city. His boss is up for re-election in a tight race, when, with less than three weeks to go, a member of his staff is found murdered. She had been attractive, ambitious, and quite possibly unscrupulous. She had also secretly been his lover. He is charged with solving the murder before the election, but the investigation goes slowly, his boss loses, and suddenly, incredibly, he finds himself accused of the murder.

Turow's narration of the trial and its aftermath reverberates with shock and aftershock and stays in the mind long after the book is finished. No one who reads it will doubt that Scott Turow has emerged as one of the most compelling novelists of his generation.
