#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - John Grisham is the acknowledged
master of the legal thriller. In his first collection of novellas, law
is a common thread, but America's favorite storyteller has several
surprises in store.
"Homecoming" takes us back to Ford County, the fictional setting of many
of John Grisham's unforgettable stories. Jake Brigance is back, but he's
not in the courtroom. He's called upon to help an old friend, Mack
Stafford, a former lawyer in Clanton, who three years earlier became a
local legend when he stole money from his clients, divorced his wife,
filed for bankruptcy, and left his family in the middle of the night,
never to be heard from again--until now. Now Mack is back, and he's
leaning on his old pals, Jake and Harry Rex, to help him return. His
homecoming does not go as planned.
In "Strawberry Moon," we meet Cody Wallace, a young death row inmate
only three hours away from execution. His lawyers can't save him, the
courts slam the door, and the governor says no to a last-minute request
for clemency. As the clock winds down, Cody has one final request.
The "Sparring Partners" are the Malloy brothers, Kirk and Rusty, two
successful young lawyers who inherited a once prosperous firm when its
founder, their father, was sent to prison. Kirk and Rusty loathe each
other, and speak to each other only when necessary. As the firm
disintegrates, the resulting fiasco falls into the lap of Diantha
Bradshaw, the only person the partners trust. Can she save the Malloys,
or does she take a stand for the first time in her career and try to
save herself?
By turns suspenseful, hilarious, powerful, and moving, these are three
of the greatest stories John Grisham has ever told.
