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,ย Jacob. Then Andyโs 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 Andyโs own sonโshy, awkward, mysteriousย Jacob.
Andy believes inย Jacobโs innocence. Any parent would. But the pressure mounts. Damning evidence. Doubt. A faltering marriage. The neighborsโ contempt. A murder trial that threatens to obliterate Andyโs 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 wouldย youย go?
Praise for Defending Jacob
โA 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, itโs every bit as good as Scott Turowโs greatย Presumed Innocent. But itโs also something more: an indelible domestic drama that calls to mindย Ordinary Peopleย andย We Need to Talk About Kevin. A spellbinding and unforgettable literary crime novel.โโJoseph Finder
โDefending Jacobย is smart, sophisticated, and suspensefulโcapturing both the complexity and stunning fragility of family life.โโLee Child
โPowerful . . . leaves you gasping breathlessly at each shocking revelation.โโLisa Gardner
โDisturbing, complex, and gripping,ย Defending Jacobย is impossible to put down. William Landay is a stunning talent.โโCarla Neggers
โRiveting, suspenseful, and emotionally searing.โโLinwood Barclay
