The Burden of Proof – Scott Turow

By the author of the No 1 international bestseller Presumed Innocent

One afternoon in late March, Sandy Stern returns home to find his wife Clara dead in the garage. They have been married for thirty-one years. Her suicide note leaves him just four words - 'Can you forgive me?'

"Expert and excellent... The Burden of Proof is a new sort of novel - a detective story full of people on the make, on the break or settling for second best: A riveting tale" - Leslie Thomas in The Evening Standard
