“No one writes better mystery suspense novels than Scott Turow.” Los Angeles Times
The good news is that Innocent, the new novel by Scott Turow will be released on May 4, 2010. This is the sequel to Presumed Innocent, originally published in 1987. Innocent is another great courtroom drama from Turow, but you may more fully appreciate the sequel if you’ve read the initial part of the story, Presumed Innocent. Because of this, and thanks to Valerie at Hachette Book Group USA, we’re going to give away 3 trade paperback copies of Presumed Innocent!
Rusty Sabich is a married chief deputy district attorney in a city in the Mid-West who supports his boss’s re-election as D.A. But his boss loses the election and suddenly Rusty finds himself charged with the brutal murder of Carolyn Polhemus, a fellow prosecutor and former mistress. Rusty’s prosecution is going to be handled by the his long-time friend and professional rival, Tommy Molto. Did Sabich kill Polhemus or is he the subject of a political and personal vendetta? You will have to read Presumed Innocent to find out.
Here are a couple of the comments that accompanied the original release of Presumed Innocent:
Presumed Innocent is an achievement of a high order – with marvelous control and touch, an awesome capacity to assemble and dispense (and sometimes withhold) evidence, and a cast of characters who are dismayingly credible. Nobody who picks it up is going to lay it down lightly. Wallace Stegner
After two days of non-stop reading I put down Scott Turow’s novel feeling drained, exhilarated and sorry it was over. Presumed Innocent is one of the most enthralling novels I have read in a long, long time. Turow has created a world that makes everyday reality feel naive and mundane. Pat Conroy

I’ve recently started to reread Libby Cataldi’s book Stay Close – a mother’s story of her son’s addiction.
It reminds me that no matter how different people’s lives are that addiction plays out the same way no matter who you are. I would recommend this book to any one who is on this journey.

I LOVED Presumed Innocent!
Tthe BEST book I have read recently is THE SHACK, by William P. Young. A Christian book which expresses theology in a way that respects the reader and is wrapped in really good literature. The book was amazing to me. yo0ung originally wrote the story as a Christmas present to his children with no intention of publishing.
