NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A legal thriller thats comparable to classics such as Scott Turows Presumed Innocent . . . tragic and shocking.--Associated Press SOON TO BE AN ORIGINAL STREAMING SERIES NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY Entertainment Weekly Boston Globe Kansas City Star Andy Barber has been an assistant district attorney for two decades. He is respected. Admired in the courtroom. Happy at home with the loves of his life: his wife, Laurie, and their teenage son, Jacob. Then Andys quiet suburb is stunned by a shocking crime: a young boy stabbed to death in a leafy park. And an even greater shock: The accused is Andys own son--shy, awkward, mysterious Jacob. Andy believes in Jacobs innocence. Any parent would. But the pressure mounts. Damning evidence. Doubt. A faltering marriage. The neighbors contempt. A murder trial that threatens to obliterate Andys family. It is the ultimate test for any parent: How far would you go to protect your child? It is a test of devotion. A test of how well a parent can know a child. For Andy Barber, a man with an iron will and a dark secret, it is a test of guilt and innocence in the deepest sense. How far would you go? Praise for Defending Jacob A novel like this comes along maybe once a decade . . . a tour de force, a full-blooded legal thriller about a murder trial and the way it shatters a family. With its relentless suspense, its mesmerizing prose, and a shocking twist at the end, its every bit as good as Scott Turows great Presumed Innocent . But its also something more: an indelible domestic drama that calls to mind Ordinary People and We Need to Talk About Kevin . A spellbinding and unforgettable literary crime novel. --Joseph Finder Defending Jacob is smart, sophisticated, and suspenseful--capturing both the complexity and stunning fragility of family life. --Lee Child Powerful . . . leaves you gasping breathlessly at each shocking revelation. --Lisa Gardner Disturbing, complex, and gripping, Defending Jacob is impossible to put down. William Landay is a stunning talent. --Carla Neggers Riveting, suspenseful, and emotionally searing. --Linwood Barclay
