In the corridors of Chicago's top law firm:

Twenty-six-year-old Adam Hall stands on the brink of a brilliant legal career. Now he is risking it all for a death-row killer and an impossible case.

Maximum Security Unit, Mississippi State Prison:

Sam Cayhall is a former Klansman and unrepentant racist now facing the death penalty for a fatal bombing in 1967. He has run out of chances -- except for one: the young, liberal Chicago lawyer who just happens to be his grandson. While the executioners prepare the gas chamber, while the protesters gather and the TV cameras wait, Adam has only days, hours, minutes to save his client. For between the two men is a chasm of shame, family lies, and secrets -- including the one secret that could save Sam Cayhall's life...or cost Adam his.

Couldn't stop listening. One of the best Grishams I have heard. I was enthralled from the first chapter until the very end.

Grisham takes us on an horrific journey through the American legal process when it’s applied to the death penalty. He is truly committed to fight this barbaric system.

Not just a novel a treatise.

This is not the crime mystery I expected. - there's no mystery nor a tale of unravelling who did it ! Yet it is deeper in emotional understanding as well as practical details and I found it fascinating.
The writing is somewhat journalistic, but once I adapted to this, I found the writing brilliant. The story is unusual, fascinating and carried me into a new world. I've heard and seen a great deal concerning this world - but this book brought it to life and burst the bubbles of bias.
I thoroughly recommend this book as different, absorbing and thoroughly entertaining
