Book #55 - Innocent by Scott Turow

This is the sequel, 20 years later, to "Presumed Innocent." I have to say I never read "Presumed Innocent", but I have seen the movie starring Harrison Ford at least a dozen times. The writing style of this book drew you in hook, line, and sinker. The premise was that Rusty's (star from last book, AKA Harrison Ford character) wife died expectantly, and his old nemesis Molto starts to investigate it. The first part jumps back and forth chapter by chapter from pre-death to just after the death. Each chapter keeps you hanging so you cannot stop reading. This was a fantastic read, and Scott Turow can weave a story to rival any mystery/law writers out there. The lesson for all men worldwide is to keep "it" in your pants. Rusty's entire demise is because he couldn't keep from the younger ladies...like a compulsion. Not sure if he really liked any of the women that much, but rather the thrill of the sneaking around. This is a page turner to the very end, and even beyond. The author keeps you wanting for more and just curious enough to keep an eye out for one more run around with Rusty Sabich.
