Description
On death row in the 1930s, guard Paul Edgecomb oversees inmates awaiting their turn on "the green mile," the chilling nickname for the prison's electric chair. His life takes an extraordinary turn with the arrival of John Coffey, a towering Black man convicted of a heinous crime against two young girls, yet who radiates an aura of gentle innocence. As Paul grapples with the profound mystery of Coffey's case and the man's inexplicable abilities, he begins to question everything he thought he knew about justice, faith, and the nature of good and evil. This gripping first installment of a serial novel plunges readers into a world of suspense and supernatural revelation, setting the stage for a journey that challenges the very meaning of life and death.
