Another great, great book by Grisham. I have to wonder how the tourist board in Texas feels about it! This is not a very flattering book about the state. In 1998 a high school cheerleader is abducted, raped and killed - but her body is never found. That is because the guilty guy, Travis Boyette, buried her body far from the scene of the abduction. Happily for the state of Texas they were able to go ahead and force a "confession" from a young black man, Donte Drumm. Donte is now days away from execution. Travis is now dying from a brain tumor and decides that confession might be good for the soul. So he confesses to a minister in Kansas.
This was a great book!!!!! Lots of action, suspense and wonderful characters - some you love and some you hate. This is definitely towards the top of my favorite Grisham books.
