Synopsis

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Jake Brigance is back! The hero of A Time to Kill, one of the most popular novels of our time, returns in a courtroom drama that The New York Times says is "riveting" and "suspenseful."

Clanton, Mississippi. 1990. Jake Brigance finds himself embroiled in a deeply divisive trial when the court appoints him attorney for Drew Gamble, a timid sixteen-year-old boy accused of murdering a local deputy. Many in Clanton want a swift trial and the death penalty, but Brigance digs in and discovers that there is more to the story than meets the eye. Jake’s fierce commitment to saving Drew from the gas chamber puts his career, his financial security, and the safety of his family on the line.
 
In what may be the most personal and accomplished legal thriller of John Grisham’s storied career, we deepen our acquaintance with the iconic Southern town of Clanton and the vivid cast of characters that so many readers know and cherish. The result is a richly rewarding novel that is both timely and timeless, full of wit, drama, and—most of all—heart.
 
Bursting with all the courthouse scheming, small-town intrigue, and stunning plot twists that have become the hallmarks of the master of the legal thriller, A Time for Mercy is John Grisham’s most powerful courtroom drama yet.
 
There is a time to kill and a time for justice. Now comes A Time for Mercy.

Don’t miss John Grisham’s new book, THE EXCHANGE: AFTER THE FIRM!

I like Jake Brigance. He is a relatable character that feels very real in all the books in which he is featured. My favorite stories involve people who do not exist that I find I miss terribly when the story comes to an end.

I did not care for A Time for Mercy. I was disappointed when I didn't really care what was going to happen next; Jake is going to have a courtroom surprise, or Jake is going to feel badly about something he is thinking of doing, or Jake is going to appear to fail only to pull a last minute save.

I did not care for A Time for Mercy. I was disappointed when I didn't really care what was going to happen next; Jake is going to have a courtroom surprise, or Jake is going to feel badly about something he is thinking of doing, or Jake is going to appear to fail only to pull a last minute save. I understand that not every story is A Time to Kill and not every story will grab our attention and keep it. This story tried to grab my attention and did not succeed.
