   Before The Firm and The Pelican Brief made him a superstar, John Grisham wrote this riveting story of retribution and justice. In this searing courtroom drama, best-selling author John Grisham probes the savage depths of racial violence...as he delivers a compelling tale of uncertain justice in a small southern town...Clanton, Mississippi. The life of a ten-year-old girl is shattered by two drunken and remorseless young men. The mostly white town reacts with shock and horror at the inhuman crime. Until her black father acquires an assault rifle and takes matters into his hands. For ten days, as burning crosses and the crack of sniper fire spread through the streets of Clanton, the nation sits spellbound as young defense attorney Jake Brigance struggles to save his client's life...and then his own.

2. La Citación

   • John Grisham

   Ray Atlee es un profesor de derecho en la Universidad de Virginia. Tiene cuarenta y tres años, y desde hace poco vuelve a estar soltero. Su padre, un hombre mayor y enfermo, vive solo en la casa familiar de Clanton, Mississippi. Era un juez temido y apreciado, alguien que ha estado por encima de la ley y la política local durante cuarenta años. Ahora casi se ha vuelto un recluso. Al ver de cerca su fin, el juez Atlee manda una citación a Ray. Quiere que vuelva a casa, a Clanton, para acordar los detalles de la herencia. Su hijo se encamina, reticente, hacia el sur, pero el encuentro no tiene lugar: el juez muere demasiado pronto. Con ello, deja tras de sí un secreto sorprendente que únicamente llegará a conocer Ray. Y quizá alguien más.

   Deputy Stuart Kofer is a protected man. Though he's turned his drunken rages on his girlfriend, Josie, and her children many times before, the police code of silence has always shielded him. But one night he goes too far, leaving Josie for dead on the floor before passing out. Her son, sixteen-year-old Drew, knows he only has this one chance to save them. He picks up a gun and takes the law into his own hands. In Clanton, Mississippi, there is no one more hated than a cop killer - but a cop killer's defence lawyer comes close. Jake Brigance doesn't want this impossible case but he's the only one with enough experience to defend the boy. As the trial begins, it seems there is only one outcome: the gas chamber for Drew. But, as the town of Clanton discovers once again, when Jake Brigance takes on an impossible case, anything is possible ...
