Title : The Green Mile - Stephen King - book

Summary :

Paul Edgecombe, a former head warden of a penitentiary in the 1930s, begins writing his memoirs.
He returns to the John Caffey case – this tall black man with a vacant gaze, sentenced to death for the rape and murder of two little girls – which hit the headlines in 1932.
The Green Mile depicts a stifling and brutal world where distrust is the rule. No one emerges unscathed from this building cut off from the world, where a strange mouse tamed by a pyromaniac Cajun, the sadistic Percy Wetmore, and Caffey, a prisoner with no problems, coexist. Quickly convinced of the innocence of this man endowed with supernatural powers, Paul will do anything to save him from the electric chair.
At the crossroads of crime fiction and fantasy, this story is also a brilliant reflection on the death penalty. A Stephen King book that's very different from his usual forays into horror, terribly effective and disturbing.
