Synopsis:

Rusty Sabich is a prosecuting lawyer in Chicago who enters a nightmare world when Carolyn, a beautiful attorney with whom he has been having an affair, is found raped and strangled. He stands accused of the crime.

This 'insider' book by a Chicago lawyer was one of the great novels of the 1980s, selling more than nine million copies, and was made into a famous film starring Harrison Ford. It's a supremely suspenseful and compelling courtroom drama about ambition, weakness, hypocrisy and American justice.

Review: If you start Presumed Innocent you will finish it - it grips like an octopus, and Turow unwinds the plot with brilliant cat-and-mouse meanness (Sunday Times)

Phenomenal... a powerful study of ambition, weakness, hypocrisy and American 'justice' (Sunday Express)

Impossible to put down (Evening Standard)

A riveting performance (Observer)

Politics, sex and death. Who could ask for anything more? (Washington Post)
