Book Giveaway: Scott Turow's Presumed Innocent

I'm very excited - Valerie and Hatchette Book Group are sponsoring a giveaway of Scott Turow's legal thriller, Presumed Innocent to celebrate the expected release of Presumed Innocent's sequel Innocent on May 4, 2010.



About the Book, courtesy of the publisher:
Now available in trade paperback, "Presumed Innocent" brings to life our worst nightmare: that of an ordinary citizen facing conviction for the most terrible of crimes. Prosecutor Rusty Sabich is transformed from accuser to accused when he is handed an explosive case--that of the brutal murder of a woman who happens to be his former lover.

  2. Alex Cross's Trial by James Patterson. It's absolutely compelling and the characterization is real.

  7. My favorite thriller is John Grisham's A Time To Kill. Who cannot relate to taking the law into your own hands, or wanting to atleast, when your child is brutally assaulted and justice is not done because of the color of skin you and the defendent have.

  9. Though now a classic, "To Kill A Mockingbird" by Harper Lee will always be my favorite legal thriller. Published when I was a young teen, it had a tremendous impact on my view of relations and life.

  15. I really loved The Firm by John Grisham. My youngest brother is a lawyer who cannot talk about his client list or what kind of cases he is working on. I could never imagine him being the person that was played by Tom Cruise in the movie.

    Thank you,

  22. I enjoy reading John Grisham's legal thrillers & one of my favorite books of his was "The Rainmaker". I chose this book because it was the first of John Grisham's books to come to mind.
