Psychological Sequel to Presumed Innocent, published twenty years later, protagonist Rusty Sabich is now chief of the appellate court. He is in the process of running for election to the state’s supreme court. His past rival, Tommy Molto, is now the prosecuting attorney. When Sabich’s wife dies, he waits a day before informing anyone. For a variety of reasons better left to the reader to find out, Rusty finds himself again at the center of a courtroom drama. He is defended by the same attorney, now aging and in ill health, Sandy Stern. This book is told from a variety of perspectives – Rusty, his son Nat, his former clerk Anna, and prosecuting attorney Tommy. The storyline is mentally engaging. I kept trying to figure out where it was headed. Although it is plot-driven, there is plenty of character development, and we get to know these people well. It is not for anyone looking for non-stop action. It explores the idea of innocence and guilt, especially the guilt beyond a courtroom definition. My overall reaction to this book is positive. I enjoyed turning the pages, reading about the trial processes and preparations. It is more focused than its predecessor. We do not have to endure superfluous side stories that have little to do with the trial. There are several unexpected twists. As with many of these types of books, the primary drawback is that the red herrings must eventually be explained, and some of the explanations are rather far-fetched and even bizarre. It is not essential to read Presumed Innocent first, but I think it would enhance the reading experience.
Turow weaves a complex web of undercover relationships. Rusty's second courtroom drama is no less thrilling than his first. This is a lovely novel, gripping and darkly self-reflective. How can Scott Turow be doing this again? As the lawyers say, asked and answered. If readers can accept this dubious opening premise, Mr. Turow does manage to turn the remainder of the novel into a fast and absorbing ride. There are some other implausible developments along the way. But his intimate understanding of his characters and his authoritative knowledge of the legal world inject the narrative with emotional fuel, creating suspense that has less to do with the actual twists and turns of the plot than with our interest in what will happen to these people and how they will behave under pressure.

Veinte años después, la rivalidad entre los dos hombres sigue intacta. nbsp; Con su característica comprensión de las oscuras verdades de la mente humana y la densa complejidad del sistema de justicia, Scott Turow demuestra una vez más que algunos libros simplemente nos obligan a leer hasta altas horas de la noche, ansiosos por saber quién es culpable o inocente.
