Summary

880-04, "Pete Banning was Clanton's favorite son, a returning war hero, the patriarch of a prominent family, a farmer, father, neighbor, and a faithful member of the Methodist church. Then one cool October morning in 1946. he rose early, drove into town, walked into the church, and calmly shot and killed the Reverend Dexter Bell. As if the murder wasn't shocking enough, it was even more baffling that Pete's only statement about it - to the sheriff, to his defense attorney, to the judge, to his family and friends, and to the people of Clanton - was 'I have nothing to say'. He was not afraid of death and was willing to take his motive to the grave.And so the murder of the esteemed Reverend Bell became the most mysterious and unforgettable crime Ford County had ever known ... John Grisham takes us on a journey from the Jim Crow South to the jungles of the Philippines during World War II; from an insane asylum to the Clanton courtroom where Pete's defense attorney tries desperately to save him." --, Abridgment of a synopsis from goodreads.com
