9 Regresa Jake Brigance! El héroe de Tiempo de matar /A Time to Kill, una de las novelas más populares de nuestro tiempo, regresa ahora en un drama judicial que, según The New York Times, es fascinante y lleno de suspenso. Clanton, Mississippi. 1990. Jake Brigance se ve envuelto en un juicio profundamente divisivo cuando el tribunal lo asigna como abogado de Drew Gamble, un muchacho tímido de dieciséis años acusado de asesinar a un diputado de la ciudad. Muchos en Clanton quisieran un juicio rápido y la pena de muerte, pero Brigance investiga y descubre que hay más detalles en esa historia de lo que parece. El feroz compromiso de Jake de salvar a Drew de la cámara de gas pone en peligro su carrera, su seguridad financiera y la seguridad de su familia. En lo que puede ser el thriller legal más personal y más logrado de la legendaria carrera de John Grisham, regresamos a Clanton, la icónica ciudad sureña de Estados Unidos, y al impresionante elenco de personajes que tantos lectores conocen y aprecian. El resultado es una novela atemporal y ricamente gratificante, llena de ingenio, drama y, sobre todo, corazón. Rebosando con todas las intrigas habituales de un tribunal, las confabulaciones y complots de un pueblo pequeño y los sorprendentes giros de la trama, Tiempo de perdón / A Time for Mercy es el drama judicial más poderoso que John Grisham ha escrito hasta la fecha. Siempre existe un tiempo de matar y un tiempo de justicia. Ahora llega el Tiempo de perdón.
