1967: Mississippi Klan member Sam Cayhall's trial for bombing the law
offices of Jewish civil rights activist Marvin Kramer and killing Kramer's
two sons ends in a hung all-white jury.
1979: An ambitious DA reopens the case; Cayhall is convicted by a jury of eight whites and four blacks and sent to the state penitentiary to await execution.
1990: Adam Hall, a young Chicago lawyer, asks to work on the case, which his law firm has been handling on a pro bono basis for years. With time running out
and Cayhall facing death in the gas chamber, why in the world would
Hall want to get involved?
"At once a gripping thriller and an exploration
of a family's coming to terms with its dark and complex past."
