A community seeking justice. A lawyer fighting for truth. Jake Brigance, lawyer hero of A Time to Kill and Sycamore Row, is back, in his toughest case ever. Drew Gamble is a teenage cop killer. He’s now the most hated person in Clanton, Mississippi. He’s adamant he shot the officer in self-defence. The town believes it was murder. Everyone expects him to be sentenced to death. It falls to Clanton’s most famous lawyer, Jake Brigance, to defend Drew against impossible odds. And anything can happen when Jake Brigance is on the defence. 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.
