DESCRIPCIÓN:

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER John Grisham is the acknowledged master of the legal thriller. In his first collection of novellas, law is a common thread, but Americas favorite storyteller has several surprises in store. Homecoming takes us back to Ford County, the fictional setting of many of John Grishams unforgettable stories. Jake Brigance is back, but hes not in the courtroom. Hes called upon to help an old friend, Mack Stafford, a former lawyer in Clanton, who three years earlier became a local legend when he stole money from his clients, divorced his wife, filed for bankruptcy, and left his family in the middle of the night, never to be heard from againuntil now. Now Mack is back, and hes leaning on his old pals, Jake and Harry Rex, to help him return. His homecoming does not go as planned.In Strawberry Moon, we meet Cody Wallace, a young death row inmate only three hours away from execution. His lawyers cant save him, the courts slam the door, and the governor says no to a last-minute request for clemency. As the clock winds down, Cody has one final request. The Sparring Partners are the Malloy brothers, Kirk and Rusty, two successful young lawyers who inherited a once prosperous firm when its founder, their father, was sent to prison. Kirk and Rusty loathe each other, and speak to each other only when necessary. As the firm disintegrates, the resulting fiasco falls into the lap of Diantha Bradshaw, the only person the partners trust. Can she save the Malloys, or does she take a stand for the first time in her career and try to save herself?By turns suspenseful, hilarious, powerful, and moving, these are three of the greatest stories John Grisham has ever told. Críticas John Grisham is about as good a storyteller as weve got in the United States these days.

HOMECOMING(1)It was one of those raw, windy, dreary Monday afternoons in February when gloom settled over the land and seasonal depression was rampant. Court was not in session. The phone wasnt ringing. Petty criminals and other potential clients were busy elsewhere with no thoughts whatsoever of hiring lawyers. The occasional caller was more likely to be a man or woman still reeling from holiday overspending and seeking advice about unpaid credit card accounts. Those were quickly sent next door, or across the square, or anywhere.Jake was at his desk upstairs, making little progress with the stack of paperwork hed been neglecting for weeks, even months. With no court or hearings scheduled for days, it should have been a good time to catch up with the old stuffthe fish files that every lawyer had for some reason said yes to a
