Description
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.
BONUS: This edition includes an excerpt from John Grisham's "The Litigators."

It is a book that is packed to the brim with details, details that many would consider unnecessary to the central plotline. But it is those details that bring life to this story, that shows how a single vent can impact a whole community and change everyone's lives.
