THREE STORIES. THREE CRIMES. WILL JUSTICE PREVAIL?

Is the law always black and white? These stories show the shades of grey...

Jake Brigance has a choice to make: help an old friend who stole money from his clients or turn him over to the police?

Cody Wallace is three hours away from his execution. There will be no last-minute requests for mercy. But as the clock ticks down, will Wallace get his dying wish?

Kirk and Rusty Malloy are feuding lawyers and partners. As their business disintegrates, they turn to hotshot lawyer Diantha Bradshaw to help save them: but how much can they trust each other - and her?

350+ million copies, 45 languages, 10 blockbuster films: JOHN GRISHAM IS THE MASTER OF THE LEGAL THRILLER
