'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, internationally-bestselling courtroom drama about ambition, weakness, 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, prosector 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 . . .
