#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - Two families. One courtroom
showdown. - John Grisham's most gripping thriller yet. - "A legal
literary legend." --USA Today
John Grisham returns to Mississippi with the riveting story of two
sons of immigrant families who grow up as friends, but ultimately find
themselves on opposite sides of the law. Grisham's trademark twists and
turns will keep you tearing through the pages until the stunning
conclusion.
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, and drugs to contract killings. The vice
was controlled by small cabal of mobsters, many of them rumored to be
members of the Dixie Mafia.
Keith Rudy and Hugh Malco grew up in Biloxi in the sixties and were
childhood friends, as well as Little League all-stars. 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.
Life itself hangs in the balance in The Boys from Biloxi, a sweeping
saga rich with history and with a large cast of unforgettable
characters.
