Book Recommendation: Presumed Innocent by Scott Turow
After reading Testimony (2017), I decided to read some of the other legal thrillers in the ten book series. Presumed Innocent (1987) is the first book in the Kindle County Legal Thriller series by The New York Times bestselling American author Scott Turow. This is a good series for your summertime reading list. Click on the links to learn more about the author and his books.
Goodreads Review of Presumed Innocent
"Rusty Sabich is chief deputy prosecuting attorney in a large mid-western city. His boss is in the midst of a bitter campaign for re-election. A fellow prosecuting attorney, Carolyn Polhemus, has been brutally murdered. Rusty is handling the investigation-- and he needs results.
Before election day.
Before his illicit affair with Carolyn is uncovered.
Election day brings a new prosecuting attorney into office. A political enemy who wants Rusty out. A man whose own secret investigation has revealed Rusty's relationship with Carolyn. A man who takes Rusty off the case-- and charges him with murder. Rusty now faces a long battle in court. Each side will twist the evidence to win its case, and try any procedural ploy, any courtroom trick that might ensure victory. Rusty's ordeal will uncover corruption, deceit, depravity and incompetence-- and keep you spellbound. Who did kill Carolyn Polhemus?"
