Publisher Description
NOW AN APPLE ORIGINAL SERIES FROM APPLE TV+ STARRING JAKE GYLLENHAAL
From #1 New York Times bestselling author and hailed as the most suspenseful and compelling novel in decades, this story brings to life our worst nightmare: that of an ordinary citizen facing conviction for the most terrible of all crimes.
Rusty Sabich, family man and the number-two prosecutor of Kindle County, is handed an explosive case--the brutal murder of a woman who happens to be his former lover. A shocking turn of events suddenly transforms him from the accuser into the accused... and plunges him into a nightmare world where nothing seems real and no one can be PRESUMED INNOCENT.
It's the stunning portrayal of one man's all-too-human, all-consuming fatal attraction for a passionate woman who is not his wife, and the story of how his obsession puts everything he loves and values on trial--including his own life. It's a book that lays bare a shocking world of betrayal and murder, as well as the hidden depths of the human heart. And it will hold you and haunt you...long after you have reached its shattering conclusion.
Customer Reviews
Well-Developed.
Although parts of this book seemed to drag and be choppy, in the end it felt to be a well-crafted story with decent character development and plausible legal wrangling.
Far Better Than The TV Series!
I don’t know that there’s anything I can say about this book that hasn’t been said in the nearly 40 years since this release. I will add this though. The book is FAR better than the series that was produced. The series is a shambles in comparison and hardly recognizable against the source material. The book is gripping, especially the courtroom scenes. I’d highly recommend reading it first before you bother with the series, and you might even want to just skip the series honestly. I only wish I had read the book far sooner, it’s a page turner and an outstanding legal procedural.
Thrilling
A book you won’t put down. It has suspense and full of drama. It will make you read it again. I would recommend you reading this book. It’s interesting!
