Produktinformation

The plot turns with jeweled precision. Carl Lee Hailey gets an M-16 from the Chicago hoodlum he'd saved at Da Nang, wastes the rapists on the courthouse steps, then turns to attorney Jake Brigance, who needs a conspicuous win to boost his career. Folks want to give Carl Lee a second medal, but how can they ignore premeditated execution? The town is split, revealing its social structure. Blacks note that a white man shooting a black rapist would be acquitted; the KKK starts a new Clanton chapter; the NAACP, the ambitious local reverend, a snobby, Harvard-infested big local firm, and others try to outmaneuver Jake and his brilliant, disbarred drunk of an ex-law partner. Jake hits the books and the bottle himself. Crosses burn, people die, crowds chant "Free Carl Lee!" and "Fry Carl Lee!" in the antiphony of America's classical tragedy. Because he's lived in Oxford, Mississippi, Grisham gets compared to Faulkner, but he's really got the lean style and fierce folk moralism of John Steinbeck. --Tim Appelo -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine andere Ausgabe: Taschenbuch .

If you enjoy legal thrillers you will certainly enjoy this story about the trial of a black man who is accused of killing the two white men who raped his little girl. You will feel outrage, sorrow,triumph and joy all in 500 pages of pure emotion and nail bitting suspense.
I can say, having read both his great novels(The Firm, The Pelican Brief, The Client and The Runaway Jury) and every page of garbage that John Grisham has written (The Chamber, The Testament, and The Street Lawyer) that his first novel was by far his best. He should have simply quit while he was ahead or start writting books which he considers not to be his best, like A Time to Kill which is by far his most enjoyable read even if he didn't think so.
