Eighty-nine years later, he faces a graver trial of conscience: Jerome Manning, a falsely accused Black father, is railroaded toward execution by a civic leader desperate to bury the town's sins. Peter must decide whether vengeance or mercy will finally break the century-long curse-and whether ordinary people can rise to meet that choice. The result is a riveting dual-timeline tale that blends the dread of \u003cem\u003eThe Green Mile\u003c\/em\u003e with the moral heft of \u003cem\u003eThe Underground Railroad\u003c\/em\u003e. Readers will fly through its cinematic chapters, yet the novel's piercing questions about justice, race, and forgiveness linger-ideal for book-club debates, classroom discussion, and eye-catching store displays. Stock it prominently and hand-sell it boldly; once patrons step onto Phantom Ridge, they'll press this story into friends' hands and come back asking for more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Advanced Publishing LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51661316325650,"sku":"9781631322525","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_dfb364fc-8a27-4ecf-af88-b08f7105e3ad.jpg?v=1760440563","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/the-spirit-of-phantom-ridge-9781631322525","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
