Și vine vremea îndurării

Jake Brigance must defend a boy accused of killing a local deputy. Drew Gamble is shy and just sixteen years old. The court gives Jake the case. The town is Clanton, Mississippi. Many townspeople want a swift trial and a death sentence. But Jake finds facts that cast the case in a new light. He fights to spare Drew the gas chamber. This puts his own future at risk. He could lose his career and his means of support. His family could face harm, too.

John Grisham's legal thriller looks at truth, justice, and mercy. It shows the cost of defending someone the town wants condemned. It blends court tactics, small-town plots, and twists in the story. It suits readers who like tense trials and hard moral choices. Jake returns from Grisham's earlier novel, Si vreme e ca sa ucizi.
