The Last Juror is a legal thriller by John Grisham, published in 2004. The story takes place in Clanton, Mississippi, a fictional town Grisham frequently revisits in his novels. In 1970, Willie Traynor, a young, ambitious journalist, buys a struggling local newspaper. Willie’s big break comes when Danny Padgitt, a member of the notorious and powerful Padgitt family, is arrested for a brutal murder. Despite his family's intimidation tactics, Danny is convicted and sentenced to life in prison. Nine years later, he is unexpectedly paroled and returns to Clanton, igniting fear among the jurors who convicted him. As the tension mounts, Willie finds himself entangled in a dangerous mystery. The book was praised for Grisham’s compelling narrative style and his ability to blend legal drama with elements of Southern life.
