THE LAST JUROR
by
JOHN GRISHAM
(unabridged)
Read by Michael Beck
From the jacket...
In 1970, one of Mississippi's more colorful weekly newspapers,
The Ford County Times, went bankrupt. To the surprise and
dismay of many, ownership was assumed by a twenty-three
year-old college dropout named Willie Traynor. The future of
the paper looked grim until a young mother was brutally raped
and murdered by a member of the notorious padgitt family.
Willie Traynor reported all the gruesome details, and his
newspaper began to prosper.
The murderer, Danny Padgitt, was tried before a packed
courthouse in Clanton, Mississippi. The trial came to a
startling and dramatic end when the defendant threatened
revenge against the jurors if they convicted him. Nevertheless,
they found him guilty, and he was sentenced to life in prison.
But in Mississippi in 1970, "life" didn't neccessarily mean "life,"
and nine years later Danny Padgitt managed to get himself
paroled. He returned to Ford County, and the retribution began.

From the Hardcover edition.
| | Industry reviews | "[Grisham's] experimentation seems to have imbued his writing with a new strength, giving exuberant life to this compassionate, compulsively readable story of a young man's growth from callowness to something approaching wisdom....The novel is heartfelt, wise, suspenseful and funny, one of the best Grishams ever."
