Adam Hall is a young attorney, fresh out of law school and working at an important law firm in Chicago. Adam's future was full of possibilities, if it wasn't for his psychotic Southern grandfather, Sam Cayhall. Cayhall, a card-carrying member of the KKK, is on death row for killing two men. Knowing his uncle will surely die without his legal expertise, Hall comes to the rescue and puts his dazzling career at stake, while digging up a barnyard of skeletons from his family's past. This isn't the typical action-packed plot Grisham does so well and readers should ready themselves for a slower pace, well-fleshed-out characters, and heavy doses of sentimentalism.
