 sp\;&ldquo\;A legal thriller that&rsquo\;s comparable to classics such as 
 Scott Turow&rsquo\;s&nbsp\;Presumed Innocent&nbsp\;. . . tragic and shocki
 ng.&rdquo\;&mdash\;Associated Press</p>\n<p>NOW AN EMMY-NOMINATED ORIGINAL
 &nbsp\;STREAMING SERIES &bull\;&nbsp\;NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE Y
 EAR BY&nbsp\;Entertainment Weekly&nbsp\;&bull\;&nbsp\;Boston Globe&nbsp\;&
 bull\;&nbsp\;Kansas City Star</p>\n<p>Andy Barber has been an assistant di
 strict 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\,&nbsp\;Jacob. Then Andy&rsquo\;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&rsquo\;s own son&mdash\;shy\, awkward\
 , mysterious&nbsp\;Jacob.</p>\n<p>Andy believes in&nbsp\;Jacob&rsquo\;s in
 nocence. Any parent would. But the pressure mounts. Damning evidence. Doub
 t. A faltering marriage. The neighbors&rsquo\; contempt. A murder trial th
 at threatens to obliterate Andy&rsquo\;s family. It is the ultimate test f
 or 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 inn
 ocence in the deepest sense.</p>\n<p>How far would&nbsp\;you&nbsp\;go?</p>
 \n<p>Praise for&nbsp\;Defending Jacob</p>\n<p>&ldquo\;A novel like this co
 mes 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&rsquo\;s every bit as good as Scott Turow&rsquo\;s great&nbsp\;Pr
 esumed Innocent. But it&rsquo\;s also something more: an indelible domesti
 c drama that calls to mind&nbsp\;Ordinary People&nbsp\;and&nbsp\;We Need t
 o Talk About Kevin. A spellbinding and unforgettable literary crime novel.
 &rdquo\;&mdash\;Joseph Finder</p>\n<p>&ldquo\;Defending Jacob&nbsp\;is sma

 and stunning fragility of family life.&rdquo\;&mdash\;Lee Child</p>\n<p>&l
