#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • John Grisham’s first novel is a searing courtroom drama that probes the savage depths of racial violence and introduced the world to fearless lawyer Jake Brigance.

“John Grisham may well be the best American storyteller writing today.”—The Philadelphia Inquirer

The life of a ten-year-old black girl is shattered by two drunken and remorseless white men. The mostly white town of Clanton in Ford County, Mississippi, reacts with shock and horror at the inhuman crime—until the girl’s father acquires an assault rifle and takes justice into his own hands.
For ten days, as burning crosses and the crack of sniper fire spread through the streets of Clanton, the nation sits spellbound as defense attorney Jake Brigance struggles to save his client’s life—and then his own.

      This is a chilling tale of a rape of a ten-year-old black girl, the murder of the two white rapists by her father, his subsequent trial and the response of the KKK to everyone involved. Alexander Adams successfully captures the flavor of Clanton, Mississippi, and its citizens who are caught up in the controversial trial. Character development is enhanced by the use of both black and white Southern dialects. Several characters drink excessively and although well-done by Adams, the drunken sequences quickly grow tiresome. This is a well-prepared audio production which will keep listeners' attention through the entire production. C.W. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
