The plot of The Last Juror has three narrative threads. The first covers the trial of Danny Padgitt, a notorious rapist who kills a young widow. The second focuses on Willie Traynor, a struggling journalist accused of using crude and sensationalist tactics in his coverage of the trial. The third storyline unfolds nine years later as Padgitt earns a parole from prison, and the members of his jury are murdered one by one.
Although this novel was published almost two decades after A Time to Kill, the story takes place just a few years before the events of Grisham's debut novel and both feature the characters of Lucien Wilbanks and Harry Rex Vonner.
