The astonishing novel from the #1 New York Times
bestselling author Jodi Picoult about a young boy with
autism falsely accused of murder.
When your son can’t look you in the eye...does that mean
he’s guilty?
Jacob Hunt is a teen with Asperger’s syndrome. He’s hopeless
at reading social cues or expressing himself well to others,
though he is brilliant in many ways. But he has a special
focus on one subject—forensic analysis. A police scanner in
his room clues him in to crime scenes, and he’s always
showing up and telling the cops what to do. And he’s usually
right.
But when Jacob’s small hometown is rocked by a terrible
murder, law enforcement comes to him. Jacob’s behaviors are
hallmark Asperger’s, but they look a lot like guilt to the
local police. Suddenly the Hunt family, who only want to fit
in, are directly in the spotlight. For Jacob’s mother, Emma,
it’s a brutal reminder of the intolerance and
misunderstanding that always threaten her family. For his
brother, Theo, it’s another indication why nothing is normal
because of Jacob.
And over this small family, the soul-searing question looms:
Did Jacob commit murder?
