Three thrilling stories of the law from the master of the legal thriller. Homecoming takes us back to Ford County, the fictional setting of many of John Grisham's unforgettable stories. Jake Brigance is back, but he's not in the courtroom. He's 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 some money from his clients and left his family in the middle of the night, never to be heard from again. Until now. In Strawberry Moon, we meet Cody Wallace, a young death row inmate only three hours away from execution. The Governor says no to a last minute request for clemency. As the clock ticks down, Cody has only one final request. The Sparring Partners are the Malloy brothers, Kirk and Rusty, two successful young lawyers who loathe each other and inherit a firm. As the firm disintegrates, the fiasco falls into the lap of Diantha Bradshaw. Can she save the Malloys, or will she save herself?
