In this sequel to the #1 New York Times bestseller Presumed Innocent, 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.

When Sabich, now sixty years old and the chief judge of an appellate court, finds his wife Barbara dead under mysterious circumstances, Molto accuses him of murder for the second time, setting into motion a trial that is vintage Turow—the courtroom at its most taut and explosive.

With his characteristic insight into both the dark truths of the human psyche and the dense intricacies of the criminal justice system, Scott Turow proves once again that some books simply compel us to read late into the night, desperate to know who did it.

Lots of twists

Scott Turow returns to fictional Kindle County, Illinois to pit 'Rožat "Rusty" Sabich' (now a judge) with embittered prosecutor 'Tommy Molto' (who is bothered by the one major blemish on his career: accusations of prosecutorial misconduct during the failure to get a murder conviction of Rusty 20 years before). This sequel fashions a similarly complicated crime; secrets, maneuverings, and ulterior motives among the participants; and unsurpassed courtroom drama (the cross-examination on the stand in Part III of the book is genuinely gripping).
Turow's characters are pathologically unlikeable - the book is definitely imperfect - but this is great "Legal-Thriller" fare.

Doubtless, incredible narration from Edward Hermann (with Orlagh Cassidy reading the handful of chapters from a female character's POV) contribute to my favorable impression of the book. Both display remarkably emotive tones that bring the text to life. If you are given a choice between a text (paper or eBook) version of 'Innocent' or the recorded iteration, take this one every time.

Altogether, this Hachette Audio production merits 9.5 stars out of 10. It's frankly better than 'Presumed Innocent'.. and if you liked that one, you'll love this one. Can unreservedly recommend.

Outstanding Rematch
