Book Overview: A Time for Mercy

#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.

“Grisham has returned to the place closest to his heart… The trial is riveting…it’s striking how suspenseful the story is…how much we’re gripped by the small details.”-Sarah Lyall, The New York Times

“Textbook Grisham–and that’s a compliment…a briskly paced legal drama, with just the right amount of suspense, conflict, plot twists, and courtroom theatrics.”– St. Louis Post-Dispatch

John Grisham

John Grisham is one of the most illustrious and accomplished authors in the realm of legal thrillers. Born on February 8, 1955 in Jonesboro, Arkansas, Grisham’s journey from a small-town lawyer to a globally renowned author encompasses sheer hard work and an unwavering passion for weaving riveting courtroom dramas. He pursued a degree in Criminal Law from Mississippi State University and later practiced law for nearly a decade, experience that serves as the backbone to his gripping narratives.

Grisham’s writing career took off in 1989 with the publication of his first book, “A Time to Kill,” which was initially met with a lukewarm response. It wasn’t until the overwhelming success of his second book, “The Firm,” that Grisham started to garner international acclaim. His knack for deftly blending real-life legal intricacies with edge-of-the-seat suspense quickly catapulted him into the ranks of the best-selling authors.

Today, John Grisham’s repertoire includes more than 30 novels, a short story collection, and a series for young readers, all translated into 42 languages worldwide. Many of his works, such as “The Firm,” “The Pelican Brief,” and “A Time to Kill,” have been adapted into successful films. Beyond his writing career, Grisham is also known for his philanthropic efforts, particularly in promoting and supporting creative writing scholarships and programs. His monumental success in the literary world continues to be an inspiration for aspiring authors, making him a true icon of our times.
