Alf Shope, the old Confederate soldier in the twilight of his existence, is now called back into the fray one final time to defend a family member accused of a murder that he possibly did not commit. His career has extended over the better part of five decades, but he had not actually been in the courtroom in several years. Did he still "have it"; could he mount a respectable defense? This tale, inspired by actual events in Macon County during the Great Depression, brings Alf to..."his final case". Determined to bring his best to the courtroom, Alf goes above and beyond to prove the innocence of young Jessie R. Norton.--Back cover.
