Here's a synopsis of the novel, per Hachette Book Group:
"The most respected citizen in Union Springs, Alabama (population 3,314), is Judge Mary Stone. She holds two responsibilities sacred: running her family farm and presiding over her courtroom. It’s there she draws the most controversial case in the history of the South. Criminally, it’s open-and-shut. Ethically, there is no middle ground. Essentially, it’s a choice between life and death. No judge can satisfy everyone. It would be dangerous to try. But Judge Stone is willing to fight to bring justice to the people and place she loves."
A newspaper in Alabama pluggedJudge Stone on Saturday, Jan. 17 since the story's setting is local to its state. The paper also mentioned how the BBC recently included the novel on its "12 books you need to read in 2026" list.
