Recensione:

"A riveting true story of a brutal murder in a small town and the tragic errors made in the pursuit of justice." —John Grisham

“A work of quiet brilliance . . . Like Capote and Mailer before him, Mayer compiles his details with a reporter’s skill and arranges them with a novelist’s arrogance.”
—Atlanta Journal-Constitution

“Ranks with the best . . . Clearly, thoroughly, and deftly written.” —Santa Fe Reporter

“A compelling, marvelously detailed picture of justice in a small, scared town.” —Booklist
