The Green Mile

Stephen King's classic number one New York Times bestseller and inspiration for the Oscar-nominated film starring Tom Hanks. Welcome to Cold Mountain Prison, home to the Depression-era men of Block E. All are convicted murderers awaiting their final journey across the Green Mile, the lime-green linoleum floor that leads to a last meeting with Old Sparky, Cold Mountain's electric chair. Prison guard Paul Edgecombe has seen many oddities over the years he has worked on the Mile, but nothing compares to John Coffey – a man with the body of a giant and the mind of a child, convicted of a crime that is horrifying in its execution and shocking in its atrocity. And in this place of ultimate retribution, Edgecombe will discover the terrible, wonderful truth about John Coffey – a truth that will challenge his deepest beliefs.
