About this book
In the small town of Clanton, Mississippi, a terrible crime against a young girl pushes her father, Carl Lee Hailey, to take justice into his own hands. Jake Brigance is a young lawyer with more nerve than money, and he takes on Carl Lee's defence in a murder trial that sets the whole county on edge. Racial tension runs high, threats pile up and the press arrives. Jake has to ask whether a jury can look past the law to the human truth behind it, and how much he is willing to risk to find out. This is a tense, morally charged courtroom drama that pairs page-turning suspense with hard questions about revenge, fairness and justice.
