Summary

Stephen King ambienta su novela en una penitenciaría de presos condenados a muerte, una antesala del infierno de la que se sirve para trazar una radiografía del horror en estado puro.

Octubre de 1932, penitenciaría de Cold Mountain. Los condenados a muerte aguardan el momento de ser conducidos a la silla eléctrica a través del pasillo conocido como la Milla Verde. Los crímenes abominables que han cometido les convierten en carnaza de un sistema legal que se alimenta de un círculo de locura, muerte y venganza.

El guardia de la prisión Paul Edgecombe ha visto cosas raras en sus años trabajando en la Milla. Pero nunca ha visto a nadie como John Coffey, un hombre con el cuerpo de un gigante y la mente de un niño, condenado por un crimen aterrador en su violencia e impactante en su depravación. Y en este lugar donde reciben el máximo castigo, Edgecombe está a punto de descubrir la terrible y maravillosa verdad sobre Coffey, una verdad que desafiará sus más íntimas creencias...

La milla verde representa un hito en la aclamada trayectoria del maestro indiscutible de la narrativa de terror contemporánea.

Prison guard Paul Edgecombe has seen his share of oddities over the years working the Mile, but he’s never seen anything like John Coffey—a man with the body of a giant and the mind of a child, condemned for a crime terrifying in its violence and shocking in its depravity. And in this place of ultimate retribution, Edgecombe is about to discover the terrible, wondrous truth about John Coffey—a truth that will challenge his most cherished beliefs….
