Query: A very realistic account of a highly emotional story.

I grew up in Mississippi, in the area where John Grisham's novels usually take place. I am well acquainted with the incident that probably originally inspired Mr. Grisham to develop the plot of this book. Although in the actual incident, the little girl was white, and the rapist black, the reversal that was in the novel made for a very fascinating situation. I also thought of the grief and frustration of the father of the girl, and was deeply moved by the portrayal of the father in the book. The characters in the book are so familiar, and the story details so obviously personal, that this may very well remain, in my opinion and many others', Grisham's finest.
