FORD COUNTY

Master thriller writer and worldwide number one bestseller John Grisham takes you into the heart of America´s Deep South with a collection of stories connected by the life and crimes of Ford County: a place of harsh beauty where broken dreams and final wishes converge. A mercy mission that is hilariously sidetracked by human weakness; a manipulative death-row inmate with one last plea; a small-town attorney who suddenly hits pay dirt; a man who sets out to break a casino to revenge a broken heart; a kidnapped lawyer who is confronted with one of his previous cases at gun point; a conman who preys on the rich and elderly; a boy dying of AIDS who finds mercy across the tracks in downtown Clanton: the sum total of human life is brilliantly captured in Grisham´s unique evocation of lives lifed and lost in the Mississipi.
