From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Small Great Things and the modern classics My Sisterā€™s Keeper, The Storyteller, and more, comes a ā€œcomplex, compassionate, and smartā€ (The Washington Post) novel about a family torn apart by a murder accusation.

When your son canā€™t look you in the eyeā€¦does that mean heā€™s guilty?

Jacob Hunt is a teen with Aspergerā€™s syndrome. Heā€™s hopeless at reading social cues or expressing himself well to others, though he is brilliant in many ways. He has a special focus on one subjectā€”forensic analysis. A police scanner in his room clues him in to crime scenes, and heā€™s always showing up and telling the cops what to do. And heā€™s usually right.

But when Jacobā€™s small hometown is rocked by a terrible murder, law enforcement comes to him. Jacobā€™s behaviors are hallmark Aspergerā€™s, but they look a lot like guilt to the local police. Suddenly the Hunt family, who only want to fit in, are thrust directly in the spotlight. For Jacobā€™s mother, itā€™s a brutal reminder of the intolerance and misunderstanding that always threaten her family. For his brother, itā€™s another indication why nothing is normal because of Jacob.

And for the frightened small town, the soul-searing question looms: Did Jacob commit murder?

House Rules is ā€œa provocative story in which [Picoult] explores the pain of trying to comprehend the people we loveā€”and reminds us that the truth often travels in disguiseā€ (People).
