#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 "riveting" (The New York Times) courtroom drama from "the best thriller writer alive" (Ken Follett).
There is a time to kill and a time for justice. Now comes A Time for Mercy.
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.
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 a richly rewarding novel that is both timely and timeless, full of wit, drama, and--most of all--heart.

An emotional roller coaster! I was so proud of fictional chracters, so disturbed by abuse, and I hope there's a sequel. Each of Jake's friends gave special meaning to this book...especially Lucien.
If you’re like me, you like a book that not only tells a story, but paints a vision in your mind. IMHO “A Time for Mercy” excels in both categories. I can recommend this book to anyone looking for a great read.
Good product
I love John Grisham. He is my favorite author. The book was good but there were a couple of unresolved events having to do with another case in the book and the main case. Also, I found this book to be a little wordy. However, it was a very interesting and good story overall. The narrator, Michael Beck, is excellent.
This was a great book! Loved reading it. I wish John Grisham would write a book for Jake where he gets some money! Haha loved it.
