About this listen

 Winner of the British Book Awards, Lifetime Achievement Award, 2007.

Adam Hill is 26 years old and in his first year at a top Chicago law firm. He volunteers for the toughest assignment any lawyer could ask for. His prospective client doesn't want Adam or his law firm. He is an unrepentant and outspoken racist with a violent past. He is on death row for the murder of two Jewish children in a horrific bombing in 1967. Why would he take on Adam, a complete novice, to defend him? And why would Adam want his case so desperately? The answer lies in the past, in a 20-year-old secret buried in the madness of another time.©1994 Belfry Holdings Ltd.; (P)1994 Random House Audiobooks Mystery Thriller Thriller & Suspense Law Crime Fiction Suspense

Critic reviews

"This ranks as top-notch Grisham and reveals new dimensions to his talent." ( Publishers Weekly)

John Grisham is a great writer of legal fiction. I have read or listened to almost all of his books so far and thoroughly enjoyed most of them. This one- not so much.
Far too much time was spent on the going back and forth to the various appeal courts- to the point that it was rather boring. Some of the characters in the story,such as Lee,,the Lincolns or Adam himself could have been expanded- to thicken the soup and make it more interesting.
Enjoyed the narration by Michael Beck.
