About this book

Presumed Innocent (1987, 432 pages) opens the series and follows prosecutor Rusty Sabich after he's charged with murdering a colleague he'd been having an affair with. It was a genuine publishing phenomenon that established Turow -- a practising attorney himself -- as a writer who could make courtroom procedure and legal ethics as tense as any crime plot, and its twist ending became one of the genre's most imitated.
