Summary
Clanton, Mississippi; 1970. Twenty-three-year-old Willie Traynor buys the bankrupt county paper and begins building circulation. He inflames readers with his reporting of a young widow's rape and murder by Danny Padgitt, who threatens his jury with revenge if they convict… him. Years later Padgitt returns for retribution. Some strong language, some descriptions of sex, descriptions of violence. Bestseller. 2004.
