Innocent (Spanish Edition)

An exciting legal thriller about the thin line between good and evil. A novel that showcases the mechanisms, psychology, and logic of the world of justice with such veracity that it will hook its readers. Who killed Carolyn Polhemus? The energetic, fascinating, sensual, and ambitious assistant district attorney, Raymond Horgan, has been raped and murdered near the end of his boss' re-election campaign. Horgan needs the crime to be solved as soon as possible and entrusts the investigation to Rusty Sabich, a respected member of his office.

What Horgan is unaware of is that, a few months before the murder, Carolyn and Rusty were lovers. Sabich is a melancholic, passionate, and above all, lonely man. At the cusp of forty, he realizes his marriage and career have stagnated, and he has poured his feelings into his son Nat and the agonizing fantasy he lived with Carolyn, a romance she ended without explanation. The unfolding of the investigation fills Sabich with memories and obsessions, and instead of uncovering the killer, he becomes entangled in a mist where no one is entirely innocent.

Scott Turow portrays a world in this novel so similar to our own that its memory will continue to haunt the reader even after the mystery is solved. Review: "After two days of non-stop reading, I finished Scott Turow's novel feeling exhausted, stimulated, and sad to have finished it. Presumed Innocent is one of the most captivating novels I have read in a long time." - Pat Conroy
