Best selling author John Grisham ( A Time to Kill, The Brethren) returns with a new tale for modern times, offering a hilarious look at the chaos and frenzy that have become a part of our holiday tradition.

They call themselves the Brethren: three disgraced former judges doing time in a Florida federal prison. One was sent up for tax evasion. Another, for skimming bingo profits. And the third, for a career-ending drunken joyride. Meeting daily in the prison law library, taking exercise walks in their boxer shorts, these judges-turned-felons can reminisce about old court cases, dispense a little jailhouse justice, and contemplate where their lives went wrong.

In a crowded courtroom in Mississippi, a jury returns a shocking verdict against a chemical company accused of dumping toxic waste into a small town's water supply, causing the worst "cancer cluster" in history. The company appeals to the Mississippi Supreme Court, whose nine justices will one day either approve the verdict or reverse it.

The life of a 10-year-old black 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 father acquires an assault rifle and takes justice into his own outraged hands.

Packend, humorvoll, berührend. Erstmals legt der Meister des Justizthrillers drei Kurzromane vor: Vor drei Jahren hat der Anwalt Mack Stafford eine große Summe Geld veruntreut und ist untergetaucht. Nun liegt seine Frau im Sterben, und Jake Brigance soll ihm dabei helfen, zurückzukehren. Seit zwölf Jahren sitzt Cody in der Todeszelle, und an diesem Tag soll das Urteil vollstreckt werden. Doch er hat noch einen Wunsch. Zwei Brüder führen gemeinsam eine Kanzlei, obwohl sie sich gegenseitig zutiefst verabscheuen. Einig sind sie sich nur in ihrem Hass auf den Vater.
