The life of a ten-year-old girl is shattered by two drunken
and remorseless young men. The mostly white town of Clanton
in Ford County, Mississippi, reacts with shock and horror at
the inhuman crime. Until her black father acquires an
assault rifle and takes justice into his own outraged hands.
For ten days, as burning crosses and the crack of sniper
fire spread through the streets of Clanton, the nation sits
spellbound as young defense attorney Jake Brigance struggles
to save his client’s life–and then his own.
Available for the first time in a hardcover edition, this
riveting novel of rape, murder, retribution, and justice set
in rural Mississippi was Grisham's first novel and led to
his subsequent bestsellers The Firm, The Pelican Brief, and
The Client.
