More about the book
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • John Grisham, the master of the legal thriller, presents his first collection of novellas where law is a common thread, but surprises await. In “Homecoming,” we return to Ford County, where Jake Brigance is called to assist his old friend Mack Stafford, a former lawyer who became a local legend after abandoning his family and stealing from clients. Now back after three years, Mack's return is anything but smooth. “Strawberry Moon” introduces Cody Wallace, a young death row inmate just hours from execution. With no legal recourse and a denied clemency request, he has one last request as time runs out. The “Sparring Partners” features the Malloy brothers, Kirk and Rusty, who inherited a law firm after their father's imprisonment. Their mutual disdain complicates matters as the firm crumbles, leaving Diantha Bradshaw, the only trusted partner, to decide whether to save the brothers or prioritize her own career. These three stories blend suspense, humor, power, and emotion, showcasing Grisham's storytelling prowess.
