#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 listeners 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.

Geschichte
Seth Hubbard is a wealthy man dying of lung cancer. He trusts no one. Before he hangs himself from a sycamore tree, Hubbard leaves a new, handwritten, will. It is an act that drags his adult children, his Black maid, and Jake into a conflict as riveting and dramatic as the murder trial that made Brigance one of Ford County's most notorious citizens, just three years earlier. The second will raises far more questions than it answers. Why would Hubbard leave nearly all of his fortune to his maid? Had chemotherapy and painkillers affected his ability to think clearly?

Geschichte
Just as Bruce Cable's Bay Books is preparing for the return of best-selling author Mercer Mann, Hurricane Leo veers from its predicted course and heads straight for the island. Florida's governor orders a mandatory evacuation, and most residents board up their houses and flee to the mainland, but Bruce decides to stay and ride out the storm. The hurricane is devastating: Homes and condos are leveled, hotels and storefronts ruined, streets flooded, and a dozen people lose their lives. One of the apparent victims is Nelson Kerr, a friend of Bruce's and an author of thrillers.

When Hurricane Leo threatens Florida's Camino Island, the Governor is quick to issue an evacuation order. Most residents flee but a small group of die-hards decide to ride it out. Amongst them is Bruce Cable. The hurricane is devastating: homes and condos are levelled, hotels and storefronts ruined, streets flooded and a dozen people are killed. One of the victims is Nelson Kerr, a friend of Bruce's who wrote timely political thrillers. But evidence suggests that the storm wasn't the cause of Nelson's death - he had received several mysterious blows to the head.

He was framed for murder. Now he needs someone on the outside to save him. For 22 years Quincy Miller has sat on Death Row without friends, family or legal representation. He was accused of killing Keith Russo, a lawyer in a small Florida town. But there were no witnesses and no motive. Just the fact that Quincy was black in an all-white town and that a blood-splattered torch was found in the boot of his car. A torch he swore was planted. A torch that conveniently disappeared from evidence just before his trial.

On the right side of the law. Sort of. Sebastian Rudd is not your typical street lawyer. He works out of a customized bulletproof van, complete with Wi-Fi, a bar, a small fridge, fine leather chairs, a hidden gun compartment, and a heavily armed driver. He has no firm, no partners, no associates, and only one employee: his driver, who's also his bodyguard, law clerk, confidant, and golf caddy.

The incomparable master of the legal thriller takes us deeper into the labyrinth that is the American justice system, always drawing us in with an irresistible hook, pulling the thread of tension tighter and tighter, and then knocking us out with a conclusion that's never "by the book". Maybe that's why, after more than 20 years of consecutive number-one New York Times best sellers, a new novel by America's favorite storyteller is still a major publishing event.

Naja
Hab so meine Zweifel, dass Grisham das selbst geschrieben hat. Hat sich eher wie Fliessbandarbeit eines Ghostwriters angehört. Generisch, vorraussehbar, wie zusammengepuzzelt aus Versatzstücken aus seinem riesigen Fundus. Keine Überraschungen, unerwarteten Wendungen oder echte Höhepunkte.
Kein Vergleich mit ‚A time to kill‘!
Sprecher ist gut aber man muss den SüdstaatenSprech mögen. Mir ist das zu sehr Redneck!
Grisham kanns besser, viel besser!

Grips your attention but doesn’t deliver
I’ve read/listened to every book by John Grisham and was much looking forward to this one. As always the writing gripped me within a couple of sentences and I finished the 20-hour-audiobook in two days. So, why do I feel disappointed?
It would not matter that I have read other stories about domestic violence and preemptive killings and children in danger of being crushed by a harsh justice system. It would not matter if there was an original angle to the plot, fascinating characters, good visuals. But the book comes across as routinely written, using ingredients that have worked well else-where. There is a bit of a pretense that we know some of the protagonists from former books, but that is no reason to make do with sketches about people, who do not come alive on the page.
Strictly speaking the book does not even have an ending and I wondered if the rest of the plot is supposed to be revealed in another book.
I admit that Grisham is better than many if not most writers of the genre, even with this book that I regard as one of his weakest. But he does not deliver anything groundbreaking any more, like The Firm or Pelican Brief, or Playing for Pizza, which was really original. To me it looks like he is fulfilling his contract with his editor but his heart is not in it any more. He has enough fans, like me, who will buy every book in the hope that it will be another one of the fascinating Grishams again.
If this book will indeed have a sequel, I am not looking forward to it any more.
