Synopsis

A man is sitting on a bed. He is my father. The body of a woman is beneath the covers. She was my mother. This is not really where the story starts. Or how it ends. But it is the moment my mind returns to, the way I always see them ...In "Presumed Innocent", Rusty Sabich, family man and the number-two prosecutor of Kindle County, was handed an explosive case - the brutal murder of a woman who happened to be his former lover. A shocking turn of events suddenly transformed him from the accuser into the accused, and plunged him into a personal nightmare. Now 20 years have passed, and Rusty Sabich, 60 years old and the chief judge of an appellate court, sits on a bed where his dead wife Barbara lies. She has died under mysterious circumstances, and her death will once again pit Rusty against his old nemesis, Tommy Molto, the district attorney who tried to prosecute him for the murder of his lover all those years ago. The praise for "Presumed Innocent" include: 'Undoubtedly one of the most successful first novels published in the last 50 years' - "The Guardian".
