A Time for Mercy

Jake Brigance is back is another masterful legal thriller from John Grisham.

A master of plotting and pacing ... suspenseful

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

Classic Grisham

Grisham, as always, delivers legal suspense in spades

Grisham has the knack of lighting a slow-burning fuse that has readers gasping for the coming big bang of courthouse fireworks
