by Jodi Picoult - Fiction

Jacob Hunt is a teen with Asperger’s syndrome. He’s hopeless at reading social cues or expressing himself well to others, though he is brilliant in many ways. But he has a special focus on one subject --- forensic analysis. But when Jacob’s small hometown is rocked by a terrible murder, law enforcement comes to him. Jacob's behaviors are hallmark Asperger's --- not looking someone in the eye, stimulatory tics and twitches --- but they look like guilt to local police --- and suddenly, Jacob finds himself accused of murder.
