“Picoult writes with unassuming brilliance.”
— Stephen King

“Picoult has become a master-almost a clairvoyant-at targeting hot issues and writing highly readable page-turners about them...... It is impossible not to be held spellbound by the way she forces us to think, hard, about right and wrong.”
— Washington Post

When a teenage boy with Asperger's is arrested for murder, his family faces the task of proving his innocence. Jacob Hunt, a teenager with Asperger's Syndrome, struggles with social cues but has an obsessive focus on forensic analysis. He often advises police at crime scenes. When his tutor is found dead, Jacob is questioned, and his behaviors are misinterpreted as guilt. He is accused of murder. The story explores what it means to be different in society and the extremes of love and loyalty a family needs to overcome impossible circumstances.
