Grisham, John

Εκδότης Hodder & Stoughton , ISBN 9781529342369

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER***Jake Brigance, lawyer hero of A Time to Kill and Sycamore Row, is back, in his toughest case ever. 'A new Grisham legal thriller is always an event, but this one is exceptional as the author is returning to Jake Brigance, the hero of his very first book, A Time To Kill . .

. There is a lot of Grisham in Brigance - they were both street lawyers on the side of the people, not big corporations. It gives the book an emotional core that burns with a white heat' - Daily Mail'A master of plotting and pacing .

. . suspenseful' - New York TimesCAN A KILLER EVER BE ABOVE THE LAW?Deputy Stuart Kofer is a protected man.

Though he's turned his drunken rages on his girlfriend, Josie, and her children many times before, the police code of silence has always shielded him. But one night he goes too far, leaving Josie for dead on the floor before passing out. Her son, sixteen-year-old Drew, knows he only has this one chance to save them.

He picks up a gun and takes the law into his own hands. In Clanton, Mississippi, there is no one more hated than a cop killer - but a cop killer's defence lawyer comes close. Jake Brigance doesn't want this impossible case but he's the only one with enough experience to defend the boy.

As the trial begins, it seems there is only one outcome: the gas chamber for Drew. But, as the town of Clanton discovers once again, when Jake Brigance takes on an impossible case, anything is possible ... Starring the same hero and setting that featured in John Grisham's multi-million-selling bestsellers A Time to Kill (adapted as a film starring Samuel L.

Jackson and Matthew McConaughey) and Sycamore Row, A Time for Mercy is an unforgettable thriller you won't be able to put down. 'When Grisham gets in the courtroom he lets rip, drawing scenes so real they're not just alive, they're pulsating' Mirror'A superb, instinctive storyteller' The Times'Storytelling genius ... he is in a league of his own' Daily Record 350+ mill

Συγγραφέας

Ο Τζον Γκρίσαμ γεννήθηκε στο Αρκάνσας το 1955· είναι απόφοιτος του Πανεπιστημίου του Μισισιπή και της Νομικής Σχολής του Ολ Μις, αλλά εγκατέλειψε νωρίς τη δικηγορία για να ασχοληθεί αποκλειστικά με τη συγγραφή. Αυτή η μεταστροφή του έχει μέχρι σήμερα αποδώσει τα περίφημα δικαστικά θρίλερ "Η ετυμηγορία", "Η εταιρεία", "Κωδικό όνομα Πελεκάνος", "Ο πελάτης", "Θάλαμος αερίων", "Ο βροχοποιός", "Οι ένορκοι", "Ο συνέταιρος", "Ο δικηγόρος των δρόμων", "Η διαθήκη" και "Η αδελφότητα". Τα βιβλία του, που όλα χωρίς εξαίρεση ανέβηκαν στην πρώτη θέση στις λίστες των μπεστ σέλερ των ΗΠΑ και 8 άλλων χωρών, έχουν μεταφραστεί σε 34 γλώσσες και έχουν πουλήσει συνολικά περισσότερα από 110.000.000 αντίτυπα. Οχτώ από αυτά μεταφέρθηκαν με μεγάλη επιτυχία στον κινηματογράφο. Ο συγγραφέας ζει με τη σύζυγό του Ρενέ και τα δύο τους παιδιά σ' ένα αγρόκτημα στο Όξφορντ του Μισισιπή, ενώ περνά αρκετό χρόνο και στη Σάρλοτσβιλ της Βιρτζίνια.
