#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “A dark and thoughtful tale pulsing with moral uncertainties . . . Grisham is at his best.”—People
In Chicago’s top law firm, a young lawyer stands on the brink of a brilliant career. Now twenty-six-year-old Adam Hall is risking it all for a death-row killer and an impossible case: Sam Cayhall is a former Klansman and unrepentant racist facing the death penalty for a fatal bombing in 1967. Cayhall has run out of chances—except for one: a determined lawyer who just happens to be his grandson.
While the executioners prepare the gas chamber, while the protesters gather, and while 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.

This novel relaxes me, even though the subject matter is serious. A racist member of the Ku Klux Klan has been sentenced to death after a bomb attack on a Jewish law office that killed two people. His grandson, a lawyer, takes on the case of his grandfather, who has been sentenced to death. He has 28 days to get his grandfather off death row. The prosecution believes he has an accomplice, because the grandfather, who has been sentenced to death, has refused to name him. Overall, this is a good novel that plays with the suspense of whether the grandfather will really be executed in the gas chamber. In the end, the novel is one where I understand why John Grisham chose this ending.
