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,Â Jacob. Then Andyâ€™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 Andyâ€™s own sonâ€”shy, awkward, mysteriousÂ Jacob.

Andy believes inÂ Jacobâ€™s innocence. Any parent would. But the pressure mounts. Damning evidence. Doubt. A faltering marriage. The neighborsâ€™ contempt. A murder trial that threatens to obliterate Andyâ€™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 wouldÂ youÂ go?

Praise for Defending Jacob

â€œA 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, itâ€™s every bit as good as Scott Turowâ€™s greatÂ Presumed Innocent. But itâ€™s also something more: an indelible domestic drama that calls to mindÂ Ordinary PeopleÂ andÂ We Need to Talk About Kevin. A spellbinding and unforgettable literary crime novel.â€â€”Joseph Finder

â€œDefending JacobÂ is smart, sophisticated, and suspensefulâ€”capturing both the complexity and stunning fragility of family life.â€â€”Lee Child

â€œPowerful . . . leaves you gasping breathlessly at each shocking revelation.â€â€”Lisa Gardner

â€œDisturbing, complex, and gripping,Â Defending JacobÂ is impossible to put down. William Landay is a stunning talent.â€â€”Carla Neggers

â€œRiveting, suspenseful, and emotionally searing.â€â€”Linwood Barclay
