Mississippi's Clanton. Nineteenth century. Jake Brigance becomes involved in a very contentious legal proceeding when the court assigns him to represent sixteen-year-old Drew Gamble, a shy lad who is charged with the murder of a local constable. A quick trial and the death sentence are popular in Clanton, but Brigance looks deeper and finds that there's more to the tale than meets the eye. Jake's work, financial stability, and family safety are all at risk due to his unwavering dedication to sparing Drew from the gas chamber.
We get to know the renowned Southern town of Clanton and the colourful ensemble of people that so many readers have come to know and love better in what may be the most intimate and skillful legal thriller of John Grisham's illustrious career. The end product is a wonderfully satisfying book that is hilarious, dramatic, and above all, heartfelt. It is both contemporary and timeless.
A Time for Mercy is John Grisham's most potent courtroom drama to date, brimming with all the courtroom intrigue, small-town intrigue, and breathtaking narrative twists that have come to define the master of the legal thriller.
A moment for justice and a time for killing both exist. The moment of mercy is now.
