NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY
Entertainment Weekly • The Boston Globe • Kansas City Star
“A legal thriller that’s comparable to classics such as Scott Turow’s Presumed Innocent . . . Tragic and shocking, Defending Jacob is sure to generate buzz.”—Associated Press
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
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 teenage son, Jacob.
Then Andy’s 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 Andy’s own son—shy, awkward, mysterious Jacob.
Andy believes in Jacob’s innocence. Any parent would. But the pressure mounts. Damning evidence. Doubt. A faltering marriage. The neighbors’ contempt. A murder trial that threatens to obliterate Andy’s 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
“Ingenious . . . Nothing is predictable. All bets are off.”— The New York Times
“Stunning . . . a novel that comes to you out of the blue and manages to keep you reading feverishly until the whole thing is completed.”—The Huffington Post
“Gripping, emotional murder saga . . . The shocking ending will have readers pulling up their bedcovers to ward off the haunting chill.”— People
“The hype is justified. . . . Exceptionally serious, suspenseful, engrossing.”— The Washington Post
“Even with unexpected twists and turns, the two narratives interlock like the teeth of a zipper, building to a tough and unflinching finale. This novel has major motion picture written all over it.”— The Boston Globe
“Yes, this book came out in January. No, we are not done talking about it.”— Entertainment Weekly

一開始有點冗長,但是後麵的展開很精彩。是本不錯的律政小說
評分讀完小說,對情節還曆曆在目,但無法理解到底小說要說什麼,因為母親對孩子的懷疑,最後母親選擇瞭結束自己和孩子的生命,這部小說讓我搞不清這是在說傢人應該緊密溝通還是在說法律製度的不完善,有點暈瞭

威廉.兰迪,美国作家,毕业于耶鲁大学,并在波士顿学院取得律师学位。在威廉.兰迪成为作家以前,他是一位助理检察官。也正是因为他有这样的从业经历,所以他写的小说都与罪犯、案情、司法有关。这本《永远没有的真相》是他出版的第三部小说。自这部小说出版以来,受《出版人周...
評分 評分他,是一个受人尊敬的检察官,经验丰富、人品端正。他,不逢迎拍马、不见风使舵,无论手上的案子是否有胜算,一律坚持原则诉诸司法审判。然而,当他的独子成为杀人案的嫌疑犯时,他毫不犹豫地湮灭证据并公然撒谎。对此,他没有一点点的内疚或挣扎。因为,对儿子的挚爱,让他无...
評分这本书时刻都在给着我惊喜。 ——或许用“惊喜”这样的词并不恰当,对着这样一本深刻严肃的法庭小说。然而若仅从故事的构思、写法以及讲述故事的方式上而言,这的的确确是一本扣人心弦、趣味性很强的小说。而在这样的外在形式之下,其关于犯罪、关于、法律制度、关于家庭、关于...
