Jake Brigance, the protagonist of John Grisham' s classic legal thriller, A TIME TO KILL, is back. This time he' s at the epicenter of a sensational murder trial that bitterly divides the citizens of Clanton, Mississippi. John Grisham' s A TIME TO KILL is one of the most popular novels of our time. It established Jake as a classic American hero-a lawyer who sought truth and justice at all costs, even when his life and reputation were on the line. Brigance returned in 2013' s Sycamore Row, in which he once again found himself embroiled in a deeply divisive trial. Now, in A TIME FOR MERCY, Jake is the court-appointed lawyer for Drew Gamble, a young man accused of murdering a local deputy. Many in Clanton want a swift trial and the death penalty, but Brigance sees it another way. Once he learns the details of the case, he realizes he has to do everything he can to save Drew. . . . who is sixteen. His commitment to the truth puts Jake' s career and the safety of his family at risk. Filled with all the courtroom machinations, small town intrigues, and plot twists that have become hallmarks of the master of the legal thriller, A TIME FOR MERCY emphatically confirms John Grisham' s reputation as America' s favourite storyteller. There is a time to kill, a time for justice, and A TIME FOR MERCY.

Praise for The Guardians * : * . . . Grisham at his passionate best, conveying every ounce of his anger at the corruption behind the law. It is his finest book for some time. Do not miss it * Daily Mail * A canny and engrossing blend of two types of Grisham novel: enough of the familiar formula of a single lawsuit in a single town, mixed with a more picaresque and multistranded approach that has the significant advantage of taking in a wider swathe of America * The Sunday Times * Simmering with righteous and understandable anger in place about the manifest injustices of the US criminal justice system * Financial Times *
John Grisham as a child dreamed of being a professional baseball player. After graduating from law school at Ole Miss in 1981, he went on to practice law for nearly a decade, specialising in criminal defense and personal injury litigation. One day, Grisham overheard the harrowing testimony of a twelve-year-old rape victim and was inspired to start a novel exploring what would have happened if the girl' s father had murdered her assailants. Getting up at 5 a. m. every day to get in several hours of writing time before heading off to work, Grisham spent three years on A Time to Kill and finished it in 1987. His next novel, The Firm, spent 47 weeks on The New York Times bestseller list and became the bestselling novel of 1991. Since then, he has written one novel a year, including The Client, The Pelican Brief, The Rainmaker and The Runaway Jury. Today, Grisham has written a collection of stories, a work of non-fiction, three sports novels, seven kids' books, and many legal thrillers. His work has been translated into 42 languages. He lives near Charlottesville, Virginia.
