Amazon Best Books from the Month, February 2012: A fast, compelling, and compulsively readable courtroom drama, Defending Jacob tells the storyplot of the district attorney's son who is accused of killing a classmate. Since the father efforts to prove his son's innocence, Landay explores uncomfortable territory. Can a propensity toward violence be inherited? Is the capability for murder a genetic disposition? The author, a former district attorney, provides the taut nuances just right, capturing the subtleties of a trial inside a packed courtroom, in which a small rustle or murmur can signify a lot. In the conclusion Landay pulls off a clever plot device it doesn't reveal itself until the final pages. --Neal Thompson
