About the book
The Green Mile #5 Prison Warden Hal Moores and his wife Melinda have also been Paul and Janice Edgecombe's friends. When Paul learns that Melinda has a brain tumor, he decides to help but knows that the warden would never allow John Coffey to leave the prison and, obviously, Melinda could not go there. He and the other guards from E Block take on a dangerous plan to spirit Coffey out during the night risking their jobs--not something to take lightly in 1932--and possibly their lives.
