Summary

A thrilling court drama in which emotions reach their zenith.Justice and law are not always the same thing. In none of John Grisham's books is this seen as clearly as in the time of grace.The town of Clanton, Mississippi, is once again divided, and attorney Jake Brigance — known for his novel and movie "Time to Kill" — is once again at the center of events.In Clanton, killings occur once every few decades. No wonder such an event electrifies the community of the entire county. Especially when a prominent white, well-known in the area deputy sheriff Stuart Kofer is killed.The perpetrator is the son of his mistress, sixteen-year-old Drew Gamble. In view of the fierceness of some of the townspeople, the boy's chances of avoiding the death penalty are slim. Unless his defense is taken care of by Jake Brigance, who has already done the impossible once: he has led to the innocence of a black man accused of killing his daughter's torturers.Jake has no desire to defend Drew Gamble, but if he doesn't, who? When he looks closely at the case, he sees its second bottom. And like years ago, he risks his own career, financial security and the life of his family to protect the boy from the end that everyone predicts him – the gas chamber.
