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.
Look for all of John Grisham’s gripping Jake Brigance novels:
A Time to Kill
Sycamore Row
A Time for Mercy
