The sequel to the genre-defining, landmark bestseller Presumed Innocent, Innocent continues the story of 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.
"Starred Review. Once again, Turow displays an uncanny ability for making the passions and contradictions of his main characters accessible and understandable. " - Publishers Weekly
"Starred Review. The various perspectives - with some characters knowing more than the reader does, while the reader knows more than others - contribute to an exquisite tension that drives the narrative." - Kirkus Reviews
"But this time the courtroom drama has a mechanical feel to it, as if Turow accepted a dare to put Sabitch and Molto back in the courtroom, older, but in the same position and pickle as in Presumed Innocent." - Booklist
"Starred Review. This is a beautifully written book with finely drawn characters and an intricate plot seamlessly weaving a troubled family story with a murder." - Library Journal
"Scott Turow's new novel is the dedicated fiction-reader's version of El Dorado: a driving, unputdownable courtroom drama/murder mystery that is also a literary treasure, written in language that sparkles with clarity and resonates with honest character insight. I came away feeling amazed and fulfilled, as we only do when we read novelists at the height of their powers. Put this one on your don't-miss list." - Stephen King
