This is my favorite of Grisham's books. Chilling and relentlessly suspenseful. It is at once a story of family pain and reconciliation, a depiction of social ills (racism, violence, our flawed prisons), and a primer on the criminal justice system. No matter what your position on the death penalty, you'll find a lot to contemplate in this novel. Recommended.
