Amazon Best Books with the Month, February 2012: A fast, compelling, and compulsively readable courtroom drama, Defending Jacob tells the tale of a district attorney's son who's accused of killing a classmate. Since the father attempts to prove his son's innocence, Landay explores uncomfortable territory. Can a tendency toward violence be inherited? Is the ability for murder a genetic disposition?

In the end Landay pulls off a clever plot device that doesn't reveal itself before the final pages. --Neal Thompson
