#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * The law works in mysterious ways in the first collection of novellas from John Grisham, the acknowledged master of the legal thriller.

“Grisham is exceptionally good at what he does.”–The Washington Post

“Homecoming” takes us back to Ford County, the fictional setting of many of John Grisham’s unforgettable stories, where Jake Brigance tries to help an old friend. Three years earlier, Mack Stafford stole money from his clients, divorced his wife, filed for bankruptcy, and left his family in the middle of the night. 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 can’t 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.

And in “Sparring Partners,” feuding brothers Kirk and Rusty Malloy struggle to keep their father’s once prosperous firm afloat. As it disintegrates, Diantha Bradshaw, the only person the partners trust, must make a choice: save the Malloys, or take a stand for the first time in her career and save herself.

By turns suspenseful, hilarious, powerful, and moving, these are three of the greatest stories John Grisham has ever told.
