Book summary

Two sons are born to a father who publishes a county newspaper in northern Florida. Ward becomes a reporter in Miami, but Jack, the narrator, cannot and will not follow. Kicked out of college, he comes home to drive a delivery truck for his father. Ward then also returns, accompanied by an opportunistic fellow reporter named Yardley, as well as a young woman in love with a man who has been condemned to death for killing the local sheriff. She has convinced Ward and Yardley that they should re-investigate his case and free him. The truth of what they discover is as absorbing as it is devastating.
