Scott Turow’s 1987 “Presumed Innocent” was a watershed for the legal thriller, delivering what started out as a typical plot that evolved into a tense look at the law, ethics and revenge, as it moved to a jaw-dropping finale. Readers will have the same reaction to William Landay’s superb “Defending Jacob,” which begins as a typical legal thriller then matures into a suspense-laden insider’s view of the law, ethics and familial bonds.

KID TRACKS: Wonderful winter hiking, light snow, false starts and all
There are a lot of variables to consider when hiking with kids. This is true of hiking with a dog as well. But there is one thing you can count on with both — a bathroom break will be needed within the first dozen steps of hitting the trail.
