William Landay writes legal and psychological crime fiction about families forced to question people they believed they knew. Defending Jacob follows assistant district attorney Andy Barber after his fourteen-year-old son is accused of murdering a classmate, turning a criminal case into a story about parenthood, inherited violence and how far a family will go to protect itself. All That Is Mine I Carry Away begins with a mother's disappearance and follows the suspicion surrounding her husband across years and different viewpoints. Landay's novels are measured, tense and character-led, with courtroom procedure or investigation serving as the framework for moral uncertainty rather than the whole point of the book. His work fits legal thriller, domestic suspense and family-centred crime. Read more Less
