Reviews
"John Grisham is about as good a storyteller as we've got in the United States these days." -- The New York Times Book Review "Grisham's work--always superior entertainment--is evolving into something more serious, more powerful, more worthy of his exceptional talent." -- The Washington Post "The law, by its nature, creates drama, and a new Grisham promises us an inside look at the dirty machineries of process and power, with plenty of entertainment." -- Los Angeles Times "A legal literary legend." -- USA Today

Synopsis
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * John Grisham is the acknowledged master of the legal thriller. In his first collection of novellas, law is a common thread, but America's favorite storyteller has several surprises in store. "Homecoming" takes us back to Ford County, the fictional setting of many of John Grisham's unforgettable stories. Jake Brigance is back, but he's not in the courtroom. He's called upon to help an old friend, Mack Stafford, a former lawyer in Clanton, who three years earlier became a local legend when he stole money from his clients, divorced his wife, filed for bankruptcy, and left his family in the middle of the night, never to be heard from again--until now. Now Mack is back, and he's leaning on his old pals, Jake and Harry Rex, to help him return. His homecoming does not go as planned. In "Strawberry Moon," we meet Cody Wallace, a young death row inmate only three hours away from execution. His lawyers can't save him, the courts slam the door, and the governor says no to a last-minute request for clemency. As the clock winds down, Cody has one final request. The "Sparring Partners" are the Malloy brothers, Kirk and Rusty, two successful young lawyers who inherited a once prosperous firm when its founder, their father, was sent to prison. Kirk and Rusty loathe each other, and speak to each other only when necessary. As the firm disintegrates, the resulting fiasco falls into the lap of Diantha Bradshaw, the only person the partners trust. Can she save the Malloys, or does she take a stand for the first time in her career and try to save herself? By turns suspenseful, hilarious, powerful, and moving, these are three of the greatest stories John Grisham has ever told.

      Reliable seller. I misread the sale and bought the hardback copy, wanted the paperback. My fault. The book is another good one from author John Grisham.

      But this 2022 John Gresham hardcover novel was a King County library book? The taxpayers paid for it, new? How can a library sell it to Thriftbooks for peanuts when it is almost new?

    • Not what I expected the book would be about.

      I really enjoyed the other books with Jake Brigance. With each one I feel like a part of the family because I am familiar with all the characters. This is no exception. I like a book that draws me in and this book does as did the others. I like the drama and I have a hard time putting the book down.
