House Rules by Jodi Picoult

Jodi Picoult is known for combining controversial issues, courtroom scenes and family drama. In House Rules, a boy with Asperger's syndrome is accused of murder.

Jacob Hunt is a teenager: brilliant at maths, wicked sense of humor, extraordinarily organized, hopeless at reading social cues. And Jacob has Asperger's. He is locked in his own world - aware of the world outside, and wanting to make a connection. Jacob tries to be like everyone else, but doesn't know how. When his tutor is found dead, all the hallmark behaviors of Jacob's syndrome - not looking someone in the eye, odd movements, inappropriate actions - start looking a lot like guilt to the police. And Jacob's mother must ask herself the hardest question in the world: is her child capable of murder?

Picoult shifts viewpoints and examines the prejudices surrounding the boy's social disability. All the while, Picoult keeps readers in suspense about who actually committed the murder.
