# The Burden of Proof by Scott Turow (Paperback)

**'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 . . .
