It has been some 25 years since I first read this great book. It is fast paced, exciting and very informative of the American jury system. Highly recommended!
I hadn't read this since it was first published in 1989, and boy has it aged. It's still a pretty good courtroom thriller, and far better than the more recent Grisham books I've tried, but oh boy I had forgotten what the world was like in the 1980's and I wish I wasn't reminded.

It's a town that boasts the only black sheriff in the state, but who has under him deputies who casually use the N-word, and where de facto segregation still exists. There are three coffee shops in the town cen...
