Title : The Sentence - John Grisham - book

Summary :

October 1946.
Pete Banning, the darling of Clanton, Mississippi, returned from World War II a hero, decorated with the highest military honors. Now a farmer and Methodist churchgoer, he is remembered as an exemplary father and neighbor.
One autumn morning, he gets up early, goes into town, and calmly shoots his friend, the Reverend Dexter Bell.
Adding to the shock of this cold-blooded murder is the complete incomprehension, as Pete simply tells the sheriff, his lawyers, and his family: "I have nothing to say."
What happened to turn Pete, a respected member of the community, into a murderer? And why does he keep silent? No one knows. The only certainty his family has is that what he's keeping quiet about is devastating, the repercussions of which will haunt them and the town for decades...
With this unique and major work, John Grisham takes us on an incredible journey, from the old segregated South to the jungles of the Philippines during World War II, from a mental asylum to the dark secrets of the Clanton courthouse where Pete's lawyer desperately tries to save his client's life.
