永远没有的真相 – Defending Jacob by William Landay

人们总是希望从法律中寻找真相,真相的认定却往往取决于人们心中的恐惧……

资深检察官安迪·巴博负责调查一个高档小区里发生的一起案件。然而,一项关键证据却让他的儿子雅各布变成了被告。随着法院开庭,他们一家人的生活被曝光于大众面前。巴博夫妇才渐渐发现记忆中乖巧的雅各布,不知何时已经走进一个他们触碰不到的世界:他与同学相处时容易躁怒的脾气、说话时冷漠的口吻,感觉就像个陌生人。尽管如此,安迪和萝莉仍旧愿意牺牲一切来捍卫自己的孩子,毕竟,在内心深处,他们比任何人都要更了解雅各布……

别以为你翻到最后一页就可以知道真相

合上书之后,审判才开始……

Andy Barber has been an assistant district attorney in his suburban Massachusetts county for more than twenty years. He is respected in his community, tenacious in the courtroom, and happy at home with his wife, Laurie, and son, Jacob. But when a shocking crime shatters their New England town, Andy is blindsided by what happens next: his fourteen-year-old son is charged with the murder of a fellow student.

Every parental instinct Andy has rallies to protect his boy. Jacob insists that he is innocent, and Andy believes him. Andy must. He’s his father. But as damning facts and shocking revelations surface, as a marriage threatens to crumble and the trial intensifies, and as the crisis reveals how little a father knows about his son, Andy will face a trial of his own—between loyalty and justice, between truth and allegation, between a past he’s tried to bury and a future he cannot conceive.

Award-winning author William Landay has written the consummate novel of an embattled family in crisis—a suspenseful, character-driven mystery that is also a spellbinding tale of guilt, betrayal, and the terrifying speed at which our lives can spin out of control.
