This is a true story of 4 innocent men in a small town where justice is very loosly applied. It centers on 1 particular man, Ron, a former professional ballplayer with mediocre talent. With Grisham's typical good writing, the story reads very well & the reader is frustrated when very poor police work put 4 men behind bars who are innocent of the crimes. While this takes place in Oklahoma, I'm sure the same type of problem exists in almost every small town in America, where evidence counts for little & the behavior/life-style of the man condemns him. This is good reading as well as an eye-opener for those who don't know about small-town justice.
