A good family story but not the best of John Grisham.
I like John Grisham because of the depth in which he covers legal matters in his novel. This one is more drama than any significant legal activity. A white supremacist who has murdered African Americans and Jews is undertrial for over a decade. Now, his grandson comes forward to defend him. There are no twists and turns in the plot. Finally, his death penalty is upheld. He confesses and feels sorry for all the wrong he has done. His family is devastated - his son has committed suicide and his daughter is struggling with alcoholism. However, the next generation has accepted the violent times of their grandparents and made a connection with them. Technically, time heals everything.
Good writing and page flipper but not the John Grisham you read for the logical legal arguments.
