The Boys from Biloxi

Autor John Grisham
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 18 oct 2022
For most of the last hundred years, Biloxi was known for its beaches, resorts, and seafood industry. But it had a darker side. It was also notorious for corruption and vice, everything from gambling, prostitution, bootleg liquor, and drugs to contract killings. The vice was controlled by small cabal of mobsters, many of them rumored to be members of the Dixie Mafia. Keith Rudy and Hugh Malco grew up in Biloxi in the sixties and were childhood friends, as well as Little League all-stars. But as teenagers, their lives took them in different directions. Keith's father became a legendary prosecutor, determined to "clean up the Coast." Hugh's father became the "Boss" of Biloxi's criminal underground. Keith went to law school and followed in his father's footsteps. Hugh preferred the nightlife and worked in his father's clubs. The two families were headed for a showdown, one that would happen in a courtroom. Life itself hangs in the balance in The Boys from Biloxi, a sweeping saga rich with history and with a large cast of unforgettable characters.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
BEST FRIENDS. DEADLY ENEMIES.

Keith Rudy and Hugh Malco were once like brothers.


But as they grew up in the lawless city of Biloxi, their lives took very different paths. Rudy enrolled in law school and vowed to rid Biloxi of crime; Malco worked in his father's clubs, seduced by a world of money, violence and corruption.

The Malco family considers itself above the law: until a court case threatens to destroy their empire. And Rudy will be the one to prosecute them.

It's friend against friend - and there can only be one winner...

Recenzii

Invites comparisons with the Godfather trilogy - it spans two generations and several postwar decades - and has a vast cast and a winning energy
No one . . . writes courtroom dramas like Grisham . . . As ever with Grisham there are corkscrew twists and turns as he ratchets up the suspense. It is exceptional story-telling, which leaves the reader begging for the novel never to end. Grisham has sold more than 300 million copies of his work. This shows exactly why
Grisham nails a thriller with a great human backstory once again
Grisham has been stretching his wings in recent books. Having ventured into cosy crime, he now takes on a full-blown Godfather-type saga . . . It's a story that spans half a century and ends inevitably in a courtroom showdown. A morally complex, compelling and illuminating read
Captivates the reader from the off . . . Grisham's trademarks abound: a talent for storytelling that whips the plot along, a vivid cast of characters - testy judges, put-upon mothers, corrupt cops and vicious thugs . . . He writes with verve and skill. A cracking read
Grisham took over Turow's mantle as America's legal thriller master and he is on good form in this story about childhood pals who take different paths as adults . . . Slick
a hair-raising legal showdown by the brilliant, prolific master of the courtroom drama
A white-knuckle courtroom drama
