***THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER*** Jake Brigance, lawyer hero of A
Time to Kill and Sycamore Row, is back, in his toughest case ever.
'A new Grisham legal thriller is always an event, but this one is
exceptional as the author is returning to Jake Brigance, the hero
of his very first book, A Time To Kill . . . There is a lot of
Grisham in Brigance - they were both street lawyers on the side of
the people, not big corporations. It gives the book an emotional
core that burns with a white heat' - Daily Mail 'A master of
plotting and pacing . . . suspenseful' - New York Times CAN A
KILLER EVER BE ABOVE THE LAW? Deputy Stuart Kofer is a protected
man. Though he's turned his drunken rages on his girlfriend, Josie,
and her children many times before, the police code of silence has
always shielded him. But one night he goes too far, leaving Josie
for dead on the floor before passing out. Her son, sixteen-year-old
Drew, knows he only has this one chance to save them. He picks up a
gun and takes the law into his own hands. In Clanton, Mississippi,
there is no one more hated than a cop killer - but a cop killer's
defence lawyer comes close. Jake Brigance doesn't want this
impossible case but he's the only one with enough experience to
defend the boy. As the trial begins, it seems there is only one
outcome: the gas chamber for Drew. But, as the town of Clanton
discovers once again, when Jake Brigance takes on an impossible
case, anything is possible ... Starring the same hero and setting
that featured in John Grisham's multi-million-selling bestsellers A
Time to Kill (adapted as a film starring Samuel L. Jackson and
Matthew McConaughey) and Sycamore Row, A Time for Mercy is an
unforgettable thriller you won't be able to put down. 'When Grisham
gets in the courtroom he lets rip, drawing scenes so real they're
not just alive, they're pulsating' Mirror 'A superb, instinctive
storyteller' The Times 'Storytelling genius ... he is in a league
of his own' Daily Record 350+ million copies, 45 languages, 10
blockbuster films: NO ONE WRITES DRAMA LIKE JOHN GRISHAM
