'Scott Turow is master of the legal thriller' - The Guardian Full of suspicion and half-truths, The Burden of Proof is Scott Turow's second Kindle County legal thriller. His first Kindle County thriller, Presumed Innocent, is now a major TV series from Apple TV+ starring Jake Gyllenhaal. One afternoon in late March, Sandy Stern, a brilliant, quixotic defence lawyer, returns home to find his wife Clara dead in the garage. They had been married for thirty-one years. Her suicide note leaves him just four words: 'Can you forgive me?' But on 6 March, Clara had expected to live . . .
