*** THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER! *** Global icon John Grisham
returns to Mississippi in his most gripping thriller yet. 'As ever
with Grisham there are corkscrew twists and turns as he ratchets up
the suspense. It is exceptional story-telling, which leaves the
reader begging for the novel never to end. Grisham has sold more
than 300 million copies of his work. This shows exactly why' DAILY
MAIL For most of the last hundred years, Biloxi was known for its
beaches, resorts, and seafood industry. But it had a darker side.
It was also notorious for corruption and vice, everything from
gambling, prostitution, bootleg liquor, drugs . . . even contract
killings. The vice was controlled by a small cabal of mobsters,
many of them rumoured to be members of the Dixie Mafia. Keith Rudy
and Hugh Malco grew up in Biloxi in the sixties and were childhood
friends. But as teenagers, their lives took them in different
directions. Keith's father became a legendary prosecutor,
determined to 'clean up the Coast.' Hugh's father became the 'Boss'
of Biloxi's criminal underground. Keith went to law school and
followed in his father's footsteps. Hugh preferred the nightlife
and worked in his father's clubs. The two families were headed for
a showdown, one that would happen in a courtroom. Rich with history
and with a large cast of unforgettable characters, The Boys from
Biloxi is a sweeping saga of two sons of immigrant families who
grow up as friends, but ultimately find themselves in a knife-edge
legal confrontation in which life itself hangs in the balance. In
this novel, Grisham takes his powerful storytelling to the next
level, his trademark twists and turns will keep you tearing through
the pages until the stunning conclusion. 'It's a story that spans
half a century and ends inevitably in a courtroom showdown. A
morally complex, compelling and illuminating read' MAIL ON SUNDAY
'Invites comparisons with the Godfather trilogy - it spans two
generations and several postwar decades - and has a vast cast and a
winning energy' SUNDAY TIMES 'Grisham nails a thriller with a great
human backstory once again' PETERBOROUGH TELEGRAPH 350+ million
copies, 45 languages, 10 blockbuster films: NO ONE WRITES DRAMA
