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,\u00a0Jacob. Then Andy\u2019s 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\u2019s own son\u2014shy, awkward, mysterious\u00a0Jacob.<\/p>\n

Andy believes in\u00a0Jacob\u2019s innocence. Any parent would. But the pressure mounts. Damning evidence. Doubt. A faltering marriage. The neighbors\u2019 contempt. A murder trial that threatens to obliterate Andy\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

How far would\u00a0you\u00a0go?<\/p>\n

Praise for Defending Jacob<\/p>\n

\u201cA 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, it\u2019s every bit as good as Scott Turow\u2019s great\u00a0Presumed Innocent. But it\u2019s also something more: an indelible domestic drama that calls to mind\u00a0Ordinary People\u00a0and\u00a0We Need to Talk About Kevin. A spellbinding and unforgettable literary crime novel.\u201d\u2014Joseph Finder<\/p>\n

\u201cDefending Jacob\u00a0is smart, sophisticated, and suspenseful\u2014capturing both the complexity and stunning fragility of family life.\u201d\u2014Lee Child<\/p>\n

\u201cPowerful . . . leaves you gasping breathlessly at each shocking revelation.\u201d\u2014Lisa Gardner<\/p>\n

\u201cDisturbing, complex, and gripping,\u00a0Defending Jacob\u00a0is impossible to put down. William Landay is a stunning talent.\u201d\u2014Carla Neggers<\/p>\n

\u201cRiveting, suspenseful, and emotionally searing.\u201d\u2014Linwood Barclay
