FREE: THE LAST JUROR by John Grisham (2004, Hardcover)

The listing, THE LAST JUROR by John Grisham (2004, Hardcover) has ended.

This 6 1/2" X 9 1/2" hardback book with jacket has 355 pages. Very good condition. First page has been cut close to seam ( looks to be an error in the making) and there is a small piece of clear tape at the bottom of the jacket's spine. ******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 23 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 necessarily mean "life," and nine years later Danny Padgitt managed to get himself paroled. He returned to Ford County, and the retribution began.
