Defending Jacob

Warning:The gift this book delivers is not tied with a bow but with a tightly knotted noose.

Everything you would expect from this genre and more. I had never heard of this author but I went for an introductory visit with my new primary doctor. I told him my wife had a book being considered by a publisher and he told me about his friend, William Landay. Thanks Dr. Keithann for leading me here.

The basic premise is every parents nightmare, “what if my child grows up to be a criminal?” But in this case fourteen year old Jacob is becoming the worst type of criminal - a murderer...or is he? Do bad things just happen when people are around Jacob? You will turn these pages till you read the very last sentence and then savor the shock at how everything falls into place.

Perfect summer read. Sure to be a movie if it's not already in production somewhere, trust me, it will be. Read this book.
