Jake Brigance, the hero of John Grisham's classic legal thriller A Time To Kill is back. This time he's at the epicenter of a sensational murder trial that bitterly divides the citizens of Clanton, Mississippi.

John Grisham's debut novel, A Time To Kill is one of the most popular novels of our time. It established Jake as a classic American hero-a lawyer who sought truth and justice at all costs, even when his life and reputation were on the line. Brigance returned in 2013's Sycamore Row, in which he once again found himself embroiled in a deeply divisive trial.

Now, in A Time For Mercy, Jake is the court-appointed lawyer for Drew Gamble, a young man accused of murdering a local deputy. Many in Clanton want a swift trial and the death penalty, but Brigance sees it another way. Once he learns the details of the case, he realizes he has to do everything he can to save Drew.... who is sixteen. His commitment to the truth puts Jake's career and the safety of his family at risk.

Filled with all the courtroom machinations, small town intrigues, and plot twists that have become hallmarks of the master of the legal thriller, A Time For Mercy emphatically confirms John Grisham's reputation as America's favourite storyteller.

In 1532 Francisco Pizarro, the leader of the Spanish Conquistadors, arrived by sea in the land of the Incas with a small army to subjugate the region and send what riches he found there back to Spain. Pizarro and his two brothers were fearsome warriors, and his first act was to capture the Inca Emperor Atahuallpa and demand a ransom of twenty-four tons of gold. The ransom was paid, but Pizarro strangled the Emperor anyway. The most prized and revered object the Incas had was a solid-gold statue of Inti the Sun god, seen by the Inca people as the giver and supporter of all life. It had to be protected from the Spanish looters and so twenty young men and two high priests from the temple in Cuzco spirited away the one-ton solid-gold statue to a place of safety. Later, one of the surviving high priests left a series of clues and it is here, almost five hundred years later that our story begins."
