Synopsis

The eagerly anticipated sequel to the huge bestselling landmark legal thriller Presumed Innocent. "A man is sitting on a bed. He is my father. The body of a woman is beneath the covers.

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...
