About this listen

In the corridors of Chicago's top law firm: 26-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.

It started off well but turned into unnecessary meandering story telling. No real plot and a pointless ending. As always it was JG so OK but no cigar.

My least favourite JG

For heaven’s sake, if this is your genre, snap it up and you won’t be disappointed. Perfectly researched and totally spellbinding, you won’t want to put this down.
Excellent narration, too.

Another John Grisham Triumph!

A non-engaging, long winded garden gate story... this book is not one of John Grishams' finest.

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

Captivating
