BURDEN OF PROOF by Scott Turow

FIC
TUROW. S.
Sandy Stem, a leading defense attorney, comes home from a business trip to find that Clara, his wife of many years has committed suicide. Clara's death takes him completely by surprise. Her death forces him to examine all of his close relationships, especially his connection to his children.
Woven throughout the book is Stem's defense of his brother-in-law, Dixon Hartnell. Dixon owns a commodities brokerage and has employed Stem to keep him one step ahead of the law. Dixon's freewheeling style frustrates Stem.
The story offers suspenseful twists, and devastating revelations as Stern seeks to unravel the puzzle of Clara's death and maze of Dixon's complicated financial dealings.
