8El primer thriller judicial escrito por el maestro del género, John Grisham.

En Clanton, un pequeño pueblo de Mississippi, los delitos tienen distinto valor según la raza del culpable. Cuando Carl Lee Hailey mata a tiros a los rufianes que violaron a su hija de diez años, los habitantes de la zona -indignados al principio por la suerte de la pequeña, pero inmersos después en una espiral de violencia racista- pretenden llevarse por delante todo lo que obstruya su particular noción de justicia. El encargado de defender a Hailey es el inexperto abogado Jake Brigance. Tiene un caso entre manos que puede impulsar su carrera o destrozarla por completo. Pero, con la confusión que reina en Clanton, también es uno de esos casos del que puede derivarse la muerte de un joven letrado blanco.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - The master of the legal thriller probes the savage depths of racial violence in this searing courtroom drama featuring the beloved Jake Brigance.

"John Grisham may well be the best American storyteller writing today."--The Philadelphia Inquirer

The life of a ten-year-old black girl is shattered by two drunken and remorseless white men. The mostly white town of Clanton in Ford County, Mississippi, reacts with shock and horror at the inhuman crime--until the girl's father acquires an assault rifle and takes justice into his own hands.

For ten days, as burning crosses and the crack of sniper fire spread through the streets of Clanton, the nation sits spellbound as defense attorney Jake Brigance struggles to save his client's life--and then his own.
