From back cover:

"In 1970, one of Mississippi's more colourful weekly newspapers, The Ford County Times, went bankrupt. To the surprise and dismay of many, ownership was assumed by a 23-year-old college drop-out, 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 murder, Danny Padgitt, was tried before a packed courtroom in Clanton, Mississippi. The trial come to a startling and dramatic end when the defendant threatened revenge againts the jurors if they convicted him. Nevertheless, the found him guilty, and he was sentenced to life in prison.

But in Missippi in 1970, 'life' didn't necessarily mean 'life', and nine years later Danny Padgitt managed to get himself paroled. He returned to Ford County, and the retribution began."

I liked this book. It's not a "typical" Grisham legal thriller. It's not really a mystery, but more of a story of a young man and his friendships. I liked the short chapters, I felt it made the story flow more quickly. A good read.
