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 in his suburban Massachusetts county for more than twenty years. He is respected in his community, tenacious in the courtroom, and happy at home with his wife, Laurie, and son, Jacob. But when a shocking crime shatters their New England town, Andy is blindsided by what happens next: His fourteen-year-old son is charged with the murder of a fellow student.
Every parental instinct Andy has rallies to protect his boy. Jacob insists that he is innocent, and Andy believes him. Andy must. He’s his father. But as damning facts and shocking revelations surface, as a marriage threatens to crumble and the trial intensifies, as the crisis reveals how little a father knows about his son, Andy will face a trial of his own—between loyalty and justice, between truth and allegation, between a past he’s tried to bury and a future he cannot conceive.
Award-winning author William Landay has written the consummate novel of an embattled family in crisis—a suspenseful, character-driven mystery that is also a spellbinding tale of guilt, betrayal, and the terrifying speed at which our lives can spin out of control.
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
威廉·藍迪(William Landay),耶魯大學畢業,隨後在波士頓學院取得律師學位,現居波士頓。他在開始寫作之前是位助理檢察官。
著有兩本小說:《Mission Flats》榮獲英國推理作傢協會匕首奬的新人小說奬;《The Strangler》榮獲提名史全德評審奬的年度最佳犯罪小說,被翻譯成十六國語言。
《永遠沒有的真相》是他的第三本小說,甫齣版即登上紐約時報暢銷排行榜。
人的行為有時候就是令人難以理解的,而這些行為背後的邏輯,我們給他們用犯罪學心理學去解釋他們,卻未必真的get到瞭point。即便get到瞭,也依然是無濟於事。小說畢竟是小說,很高興能夠學到幾個心理學名詞:confirmation bias, narcissistic personality disorder, reactive attachment disorder.
評分it's more like the father is defending himself, not Jacob. He's trying everything he could to prove that his family is impeccable and his son does not have the murder gene that might come from him. 進程太慢,很多details unnecessary
評分不能說是本優秀的小說,是會一口氣讀完不會中間放棄的小說

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...
