THE LAST TRIAL by Scott TurowTwo formidable men collide in this "first-class legal thriller" from New York Times bestselling author Scott Turow: a "brilliant courtroom chess match" about a celebrated criminal defense lawyer and the prosecution of his lifelong friend -- a doctor accused of murder (David Baldacci).At eighty-five years old, Alejandro "Sandy" Stern, a brilliant defense lawyer with his health failing but spirit intact, is on the brink of retirement. But when his old friend Dr. Kiril Pafko, a former Nobel Prize winner in Medicine, is faced with charges of insider trading, fraud, and murder, his entire life's work is put in jeopardy, and Stern decides to take on one last trial.In a case that will be the defining coda to both men's accomplished lives, Stern probes beneath the surface of his friend's dazzling veneer as a distinguished cancer researcher. As the trial progresses, he will question everything he thought he knew about his friend. Despite Pafko's many failings, is he innocent of the terrible charges laid against him? How far will Stern go to save his friend, and -- no matter the trial's outcome -- will he ever know the truth?Stern's duty to defend his client and his belief in the power of the judicial system both face a final, terrible test in the courtroom, where the evidence and reality are sometimes worlds apart.Full of the deep insights into the spaces where the fragility of human nature and the justice system collide, Scott Turow's The Last Trial is a masterful legal thriller that unfolds in page-turning suspense -- and questions how we measure a life.Scott Turow is the author of many bestselling works of fiction, including Testimony, Identical, Innocent, Presumed Innocent, and The Burden of Proof, and two nonfiction books, including One L, about his experience as a law student. His books have been translated into more than forty languages, sold more than thirty million copies worldwide, and have been adapted into movies and television projects. He has frequently contributed essays and op-ed pieces to publications such as the New York Times, Washington Post, Vanity Fair, The New Yorker, and The Atlantic.www.ScottTurow.comhttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1538748134?tag=hacboogrosit-20http://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/sturow.mp3  

This week, two things in one episode.I sit down with Andrew Najberg, novelist, poet, editor at Symposium Magazine, co-owner and co-editor-in-chief of Aethon Books: Wicked House, college teacher, husband, father, and my Chattanooga neighbor. Andrew has five novels out, including The Mobius Door, Golotok, The Neverborn Thief, and Eat the Light, which dropped last month from Wicked House. He has two poetry collections out, with Paradise Falls forthcoming.What I wanted from this conversation was to understand how Andrew actually does the work. Day to day. Hour to hour. We talk about:* The book Andrew is writing right now, a horror comedy about a cottage and a Bugaboo, with themes about AI and user-generated material running underneath* The day he scrapped 125 to 150 pages of The Mobius Door because the structure wasn't working* The voice memos he records while driving his kids to school, then refines into prose in his office between teaching and editing* The daily wordcount rhythm that gets him 2,000 words a day while running a press publishing 40 titles a year* His reading recommendations for horror sci-fi* And his clear-eyed read of Amazon's algorithm, including the 25-review threshold, the two-week launch window, and the 90-day placement decision that determines a book's three-year lifeFirst, the news: The Working Publisher news digest. Five stories from the past week in publishing that share a single shape. Authors organized at a 91.3 percent claims rate in the Bartz settlement against Anthropic. Scott Turow and five major publishers filed a class action against Meta. Audible flipped ACX into a Spotify-style royalty pool. Draft2Digital introduced fees for the first time in the platform's history. And Independent Bookstore Day quietly celebrated its fourteenth year, with the indie bookstore count continuing its slow recovery.The pattern: the platform middlemen are tightening their grip on writers, and writers are starting to push back.Find Andrew's books on Amazon. Reviews are how Andrew's press depends on hitting the 25-review threshold that gets his next book in front of new readers.* Andrew Najberg on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Andrew-Najberg/e/[author-page]* Symposium Magazine: https://symposiummagazine.com* Crossroads Publishing Group: https://crossroadspublishing.group* The Founding Voice cohort, for the first three writers signing a publishing engagement, is open through August 31, 2026.

Tuesday May 5, 2026 Five Publishers and Scott Turow Sue Meta and Mark Zuckerberg

This Day in Legal History: Chinese Exclusion ActOn May 6, 1882, President Chester A. Arthur signed the Chinese Exclusion Act into law. The law imposed a 10-year ban on the immigration of Chinese laborers to the United States. It also made Chinese immigrants already in the country ineligible for naturalized citizenship, marking a major turn toward federal immigration restriction. The National Archives describes it as the first significant U.S. law restricting immigration and notes that it targeted an ethnic working group on the theory that it threatened public order.The law grew out of anti-Chinese racism and labor anxiety, especially in the American West, where Chinese workers were blamed for low wages and job competition. Although the Act formally applied to “Chinese laborers,” its enforcement burdened many Chinese people seeking entry, including those who claimed exempt status. The National Archives notes that the law helped create a broader framework for later race- and class-based exclusionary immigration policy.The Act was not temporary in practice. Congress extended it through the Geary Act of 1892, later made the exclusion regime permanent, and did not repeal the ban until 1943, during World War II, when the United States and China were allies.OpenAI president Greg Brockman testified in federal court that Elon Musk once supported changing OpenAI from a nonprofit into a for-profit company, but wanted full control of the organization as part of that shift. Brockman said Musk believed the nonprofit model could not raise enough money to build advanced AI systems. According to Brockman, Musk also said he needed an $80 billion stake to help fund a self-sustaining city on Mars. Brockman described a tense 2017 meeting where Musk allegedly rejected a proposed equity structure, became angry, took a painting made for him by Ilya Sutskever, and left while threatening to pause funding.Musk's lawsuit claims OpenAI and Sam Altman misled him into donating $38 million to a nonprofit that later abandoned its charitable mission in favor of profit. Musk is seeking $150 billion in damages for the nonprofit and wants Altman and Brockman removed from leadership. OpenAI argues that Musk is upset because he left before the company became highly successful and is now trying to gain control while also advancing his own AI company, xAI. Brockman also faced questions about his own financial interests, including testimony that his OpenAI stake is worth nearly $30 billion and evidence of an old diary entry about reaching $1 billion. OpenAI later created a for-profit unit controlled by the nonprofit, which helped it raise massive sums for computing power, hiring, and expansion.Musk wanted $80 billion to colonize Mars, OpenAI president testifies at trial | ReutersPublishers Elsevier, Cengage, Hachette, Macmillan, and McGraw Hill, along with author Scott Turow, sued Meta in federal court in Manhattan over its AI training practices. The lawsuit claims Meta used millions of copyrighted books and journal articles without permission to train its Llama large language models. The works allegedly included textbooks, scientific publications, and novels, such as books by N.K. Jemisin and Peter Brown. The publishers are seeking class-action status so they can represent a broader group of copyright owners. They are also asking for monetary damages.Meta responded that AI training can qualify as fair use and said it plans to fight the case. The publishers argue that using allegedly pirated copies of creative and scholarly works is not the same as lawful innovation. The case joins a growing wave of lawsuits by authors, news organizations, artists, and other creators against AI companies, including Meta, OpenAI, and Anthropic. These lawsuits largely turn on whether using copyrighted works to train AI models is legally protected because the resulting systems create something new and transformative. Courts have not yet settled the issue, and early rulings have pointed in different directions. Anthropic previously resolved one major author lawsuit for $1.5 billion, showing how financially significant these disputes can become.Major publishers sue Meta for copyright infringement over AI training | ReutersThe U.S. Supreme Court allowed its recent Louisiana voting-rights ruling to take effect earlier than usual, clearing the way for political and legal consequences before the November midterm elections. The Court's April 29 decision had struck down a Louisiana congressional map that created a second Black-majority district. That ruling weakened a major part of the Voting Rights Act by limiting challenges to maps that allegedly dilute minority voting power. Normally, the Supreme Court waits 32 days before issuing its formal judgment, giving the losing side time to seek rehearing. Here, the Court agreed to speed up the process after a request from the voters who had won the case.The move helps Louisiana Republicans pursue a new congressional map and may weaken lawsuits challenging Governor Jeff Landry's decision to delay the state's May 16 congressional primaries. Some challengers had argued that Landry acted too soon because the Supreme Court's ruling had not formally taken effect yet. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented, saying the Court's accelerated action had created disorder in Louisiana. The case is part of a broader national fight over redistricting, especially as both parties seek advantages in House races. The dispute began after Louisiana drew a second majority-Black district in 2024 to address a prior court ruling that the old map harmed Black voters under the Voting Rights Act. The Supreme Court later held that the replacement map relied too heavily on race, violating equal protection principles.US Supreme Court lets Voting Rights Act ruling take effect ahead of schedule | Reuters This is a public episode.

Florence Bennet is found dead in a bathtub of scalding water. Her husband, Casper, claims that he found her like that, but his burned hands tell a differentstory.Or so the police and almost the entire population of Lorain believe.And as the Bennetts' marriage with its secrets of alcohol, affairs and abuse is laid bare in the courtroom, it looks like the only possible verdict is murder.Bennett's sensational trial more than fifty years ago pitted an aggressive, mercurial county prosecutor against a defense team that included Ray Miraldi. In the tradition of John Grisham and Scott Turow, The Edge of Innocence, written by Ray Miraldi's son, David, recreates the tension and excitement of this true courtroom battle, and also reveals the uncertain edge that often divides guilt from innocence.(And there is more than one twist in the case that was revealed long after the case was settled!)

"Presunto colpevole" di Scott Turow e "Quando i fiori avranno tempo per me" di Sara GambazzaLo scrittore americano Scott Turow è considerato il maestro del legal thriller con oltre 30 milioni di copie vendute. Il suo "Presunto Innocente", datato 1987, è stato un best-seller internazionale. In quel caso era apparso per la prima volta il personaggio del procuratore Rusty Subich, accusato della morte dell'ex amante. Poi era seguito il romanzo "Innocente", in cui sempre Rusty, in qualità di presidente della Corte d'Appello, era stato invece accusato dell'omicidio della moglie. Ora Rusty Subich torna in "Presunto Colpevole" (Mondadori - traduz. Sara Crimi e Laura Tasso). Questa volta Rusty, ormai in pensione, deve coordinare la difesa del figlio adottivo della sua compagna, un ventenne nero, con precedenti di droga, accusato della morte della fidanzata. La ragazza è figlia del procuratore Harrison Porter e questo complica il lavoro della difesa. Nella seconda parte parliamo di "Quando i fiori avranno tempo per me" di Sara Gambazza (Longanesi). Anita è una prostituta, vende il suo corpo perché non ha alternative. La povertà e la fame piegano sia lei che le sue figlie, Rosa e Ninfa. Le bambine a scuola vengono prese in giro per quello che fa la madre e spesso sono isolate. In più Ninfa sente l'odore della morte, capisce quando qualcuno sta per morire e la gente pensa che abbia dentro di sè il demonio. Ama i libri e questo è un elemento distonico nel contesto di estrema povertà e ignoranza in cui vive. Siamo a Parma e nel romanzo si narra la storia di Anita e delle sue figlie dal 1922 alla fine della guerra.

"Presumed Innocent" is an American legal thriller television series created by David E. Kelley, based on the 1987 novel of the same name by Scott Turow. The book was previously adapted into the 1990 film starring Harrison Ford and Brian Dennehy. The series premiered on Apple TV+ last summer and received positive reviews, which led to the series being renewed for a second season. Peter Sarsgaard, who plays Tommy Molto, was kind enough to speak with us about his work on the show, which you can listen to below.

Scott Turow, New York Times best seller author, joins Karen Conti to talk about his latest book, Presumed Guilty, the latest installment of Rožat “Rusty” Sabich’s story.

Lawyer turned bestselling author, Scott Turow, joins Simon and Matt for a chat about his new novel, 'Presumed Guilty' (the sequel to his 1987 masterpiece, 'Presumed Innocent') Scott joins us down the line from Florida and discusses writing an 'older' protagonist, the soothing components of jazz music, Keith Jarrett and how much legalise is too much legalise. This episode comes complete with a crashing of dishes in the background, courtesy of the Turow household. Here's some more info on the new book: In a sequel to Presumed Innocent, the book that redefined the legal thriller, judge and lawyer Rusty Sabich returns to the courtroom to defend his step-son against a racially-charged murder indictment as the boy's life – and perhaps Rusty's last chance at happiness – hang in the balance. Rusty is a retired judge attempting a third act in life with a loving soon-to-be wife, Bea, with whom he shares both a restful home on an idyllic lake in the rural Midwest and a plaintive hope that this marriage will be his best, and his last. But the peace that's taken Rusty so long to find evaporates when Bea's young adult son, Aaron, living under their supervision while on probation for drug possession, disappears. If Aaron doesn't return soon, he will be sent back to jail. Aaron eventually turns up with a vague story about a camping trip with his troubled girlfriend, Mae, that ended in a fight and a long hitchhike home. Days later, when she still hasn't returned, suspicion falls on Aaron, and when Mae is subsequently discovered dead, Aaron is arrested and set for trial on charges of first degree murder. Faced with few choices and even fewer hopes, Bea begs Rusty to return to court one last time, to defend her son and to save their last best hope for happiness. For Rusty, the question is not whether to defend Aaron, or whether the boy is in fact innocent – it's whether the system to which he has devoted his life can ever provide true justice for those who are presumed guilty.

A BONUS week-end edition of Crime Wave: Scott Turow talks about life, writing, and PRESUMED GUILTY, the long-anticipated third thriller in his Rusty Sabich series. Rusty comes out of retirement to defend his soon-to-be stepson, the lead suspect in the death of a young woman from a prominent family with whom the young man had a tumultuous relationship. The title PRESUMED GUILTY is not merely a callback to Turow's earlier Rusty Sabich novels but is a reflection on whether the system to which Rusty has devoted his life can ever provide true justice for those who are presumed guilty.

Presumed Guilty is the latest novel from Scott Turow, who's been writing about this character since he published Presumed Innocent in 1987.

Scott Turow joins Carol Fitzgerald to talk about his latest legal thriller, PRESUMED GUILTY. This Bookreporter Bets On selection marks the return of Rusty Sabich, following his starring roles in PRESUMED INNOCENT and INNOCENT. Scott explains his decision to write the book and why this may be the last time we see Rusty as a protagonist in one of his novels. He also shares the reason that he chose to make Aaron a young Black man who was adopted by white people. Scott and Carol talk about the mantle of “accused murderer” and what that means to a person, which is something that two of his characters share. Carol notes Scott's very in-depth courtroom scenes, which leads to a discussion about their significance for the reader, as well as the topic of how justice may or may not be served according to who is on the bench, who is prosecuting and who is defending. And yes, they bring up some books-to-screen news.

In a sequel to Presumed Innocent, the book that redefined the legal thriller and served as the basis for Apple TV+'s most-watched drama series ever, judge and lawyer Rusty Sabich returns to the courtroom to defend his step-son against a murder indictment as the boy's life—and perhaps Rusty's last chance at happiness—hang in the balance.    ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Scott Turow, a writer and former practicing lawyer, is the author of thirteen bestselling works of fiction, including Presumed Innocent and most recently, Suspect.

Scott Turow is the author of the newly released courtroom thriller Presumed Guilty and the best selling book Presumed Innocent that was made into a movie and recently into a TV series. I want to learn from Scott about why the jury is biased against the defendant, how race influences the legal strategy, what it costs these days to defend in a murder case, and why you should not take the stand in your own defense.Darren Schwartz is the What Happens Next culture critic.

Barbara Peters in conversation with Scott Turow

Rusty is a retired judge attempting a third act in life with a loving soon-to-be wife, Bea, with whom he shares both a restful home on an idyllic lake in the rural Midwest and a plaintive hope that this marriage will be his best, and his last. But the peace that's taken Rusty so long to find evaporates when Bea's young adult son, Aaron, living under their supervision while on probation for drug possession, disappears. If Aaron doesn't return soon, he will be sent back to jail. Aaron eventually turns up with a vague story about a camping trip with his troubled girlfriend, Mae, that ended in a fight and a long hitchhike home. Days later, when she still hasn't returned, suspicion falls on Aaron, and when Mae is subsequently discovered dead, Aaron is arrested and set for trial on charges of first-degree murder. Faced with few choices and even fewer hopes, Bea begs Rusty to return to court one last time, to defend her son and to save their last best hope for happiness. For Rusty, the question is not whether to defend Aaron, or whether the boy is in fact innocent-it's whether the system to which he has devoted his life can ever provide true justice for those who are presumed guilty.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Here at the Murder Sheet, we are huge fans of the author Scott Turow. His first novel. Presumed Innocent, came out back in 1987 and introduced readers to the lawyers of Kindle County. In the years since, Turow published many more novels- rich and gripping legal thrillers, each one well worth reading.Even if you haven't read any of his books, you still may have met some of his characters. Presumed Innocent was made into a successful movie starring Harrison Ford and- just last year- was also adapted into a television series on Apple Plus. That story focused on Rusty Sabich- who was facing a murder trial for the death of his lover. Turow returns to Rusty's story in his latest novel, Presumed Guilty- and you don't need to have read any earlier novel in order to appreciate it. Now a much older Rusty has settled down in a rural part of his state. He seems to have found true love. But there's a pretty big complication- the African American son of Rusty's partner is charged with murdering his girlfriend-- and he wants Rusty to defend him in court. A Scott was kind enough to take the time to talk with us about the new novel. the stresses of trial work and how a prosecutor knows when he's ready to move into criminal defense.

Fox 32 entertainment reporter Jake Hamilton joins Karen to talk bout this new limited series that is streaming on Apple TV+, starring Jake Gyllenhaal. The original “Presumed Innocent’ movie starred Harrison Ford and was based on local Chicago author Scott Turow.

Scott Turow is the author of the novel Presumed Innocent which has recently been adapted into an 8-part Apple TV miniseries. I want to learn from Scott about adapting his novels to film. I also want to hear his views on copyright and whether it serves public policy to give authors control over their books and derivative work for their lifetime plus 70 years. And most importantly I want to hear from Scott about what he thought about the new radically different Presumed Innocent miniseries.Darren Schwartz is the What Happens Next Film Critic. I plan to ask Darren to compare the miniseries with the novel and the 1990 Harrison Ford movie.  I would also like Darren to comment on how the change in our social mores forced a change in its plot and characters.  Get full access to What Happens Next in 6 Minutes with Larry Bernstein at www.whathappensnextin6minutes.com/subscribe

The phenomenal screenwriter and novelist, Joey Hartstone, had his first two feature films directed by no less than Rob Reiner. The first film, LBJ, which was named to Hollywood's highly respected Black List in 2014, starred Woody Harrelson as LBJ.  Joey's second feature, “Shock and Awe,” featured Woody Harrelson, James Marsden, Tommy Lee Jones, Jessica Biel, and Milla Jovovich. He was a member of the writing staff for the first two seasons of “The Good Fight.”  He is currently the showrunner and an executive producer of Showtime's “Your Honor,” starring a favorite StoryBeat guest, Bryan Cranston. Joey's debut novel, “The Local,” a legal thriller about an East Texas patent attorney's first murder case, was published in the spring of 2022 by Doubleday, and is being developed as a series with CBS Studios and King Size Productions. I've read “The Local” and can tell you it's a brilliant, fast-paced, thoroughly entertaining legal murder mystery very much in the vein of John Grisham and Scott Turow. I highly recommend “The Local” to you and am very glad that it's being developed for TV. Who knew Intellectual Property law could be so exciting?Joey and his wife, Abby, are adapting the book “In the Blood: How Two Outsiders Solved a Centuries-Old Medical Mystery and Took on the US Army,” as a feature film with Star Thrower Entertainment.  For the record, Joey and I have known one another for many years having graduated together from UCLA's famed MFA in Screenwriting program.
