It is now three years later, and it is a more subdued and introspective Stern whom we meet, his life in turmoil as a result of his wife Clara’s suicide. When we last encountered him, Stern was basking in the glory of that triumph, at the pinnacle of a storied career. Readers of “Presumed Innocent” will remember Stern as the counsel who masterminded the celebrated defense of Rusty Sabich, the Kindle prosecutor accused of killing a female colleague. The protagonist is a 56-year-old Argentine-born defense attorney, Alejandro (Sandy) Stern, a man whose forensic skills, Old World charm and unimpeachable ethics have made him one of Kindle’s most prominent trial attorneys.
