![]() ![]() He doesn’t feel he can do justice to both cases in the tight time frame, but nevertheless ends up leading both cases. ![]() Jake is embroiled in the middle of another big case which is taking much of his time, Smallwood, involving a railway crossing killing. ![]() Enter Jake Brigance, a local lawyer who is compelled by the local judge to take on his case, at least initially in the short term. The victim, Stuart is a police deputy and naturally the community feels the boy should be committed for capital murder. Although I read A Time to Kill many years ago now, it is still fresh in my mind, also having been made into a motion picture.Ī Time for Mercy is set in one of the southern states of the US, Mississippi, and tells the story of a 16 year old boy, Drew, who kills his mother’s partner in the home in which they live. The second in this series was Sycamore Row, published in 2013, then this one, not waiting quite as long to be published as the first two. It was actually Grisham’s first novel, followed by a number of other series and standalone books. A Time for Mercy is the third of the Jake Brigance books, the first of which was published back in 1989: A Time to Kill. Crime books are one of my favourite genres, so it’s no surprise that I am a fan of John Grisham books. ![]()
