A Time for Mercy de John Grisham

A Time for Mercy: Jake Brigance, cartea 3

Autor John Grisham Michael Beck
en Limba Engleză CD-Audio – 12 oct 2020

Ritmul este alert, o cursă contracronometru care pulsează de tensiune încă de la primele pagini. Notăm cu interes întoarcerea lui John Grisham la rădăcinile sale literare, readucându-l în scenă pe Jake Brigance în cel mai dificil proces al carierei sale. La intersecția dintre A Time To Kill și Sycamore Row, această lucrare combină dilemele morale sfâșietoare cu mecanismele juridice necruțătoare ale statului Mississippi. Premisa este brutală: un adolescent de șaisprezece ani trage un foc de armă pentru a-și salva familia de un tată vitreg abuziv, care se întâmplă să fie un polițist influent. Merită menționat că autorul folosește experiența sa reală de avocat pentru a descrie atmosfera sufocantă din Clanton, unde ura comunității față de un 'ucigaș de copoi' se revarsă asupra singurului om curajos să îl apere. Ne-a atras atenția modul în care Grisham explorează 'codul tăcerii' din poliție, transformând un proces de omor într-o radiografie socială. Față de alte lucrări recente, precum The Exchange sau seria Theodore Boone, A Time for Mercy revine la forța brută a dramei de tribunal care l-a consacrat pe autor, oferind o perspectivă intimă asupra sacrificiului personal necesar pentru a obține dreptatea într-un sistem care pare deja hotărât să trimită un copil în camera de gazare.

Descriere scurtă

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER - Jake Brigance is back! The hero of A Time to Kill, one of the most popular novels of our time, returns in a courtroom drama that The New York Times says is riveting and suspenseful.

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.

In what may be the most personal and accomplished legal thriller of John Grisham's storied career, we deepen our acquaintance with the iconic Southern town of Clanton and the vivid cast of characters that so many readers know and cherish. The result is a richly rewarding novel that is both timely and timeless, full of wit, drama, and--most of all--heart.

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 John Grisham's most powerful courtroom drama yet.

There is a time to kill and a time for justice. Now comes A Time for Mercy.

Jake Brigance, lawyer hero of A Time to Kill and Sycamore Row, is back, in his toughest case ever.

'When Grisham gets in the courtroom he lets rip, drawing scenes so real they're not just alive, they're pulsating' Mirror

CAN A KILLER EVER BE ABOVE THE LAW?

Deputy Stuart Kofer is a protected man. Though he's turned his drunken rages on his girlfriend, Josie, and her children many times before, the police code of silence has always shielded him.

But one night he goes too far, leaving Josie for dead on the floor before passing out. Her son, sixteen-year-old Drew, knows he only has this one chance to save them. He picks up a gun and takes the law into his own hands.

In Clanton, Mississippi, there is no one more hated than a cop killer - but a cop killer's defence lawyer comes close. Jake Brigance doesn't want this impossible case but he's the only one with enough experience to defend the boy.

As the trial begins, it seems there is only one outcome: the gas chamber for Drew. But, as the town of Clanton discovers once again, when Jake Brigance takes on an impossible case, anything is possible ...

Starring the same hero and setting that featured in John Grisham's multi-million-selling bestsellers A Time to Kill (adapted as a film starring Samuel L. Jackson and Matthew McConaughey) and Sycamore Row, A Time for Mercy is an unforgettable thriller you won't be able to put down.

Recenzii

a master of plotting and pacing . . . suspenseful
A new Grisham legal thriller is always an event, but this one is exceptional as the author is returning to Jake Brigance, the hero of his very first book, A Time To Kill . . . There is a lot of Grisham in Brigance - they were both street lawyers on the side of the people, not big corporations. It gives the book an emotional core that burns with a white heat
Grisham, as always, delivers legal suspense in spades
Grisham has the knack of lighting a slow-burning fuse that has readers gasping for the coming big bang of courthouse fireworks
