The sins of their fathers set two childhood friends on a collision course in this intense John Grisham legal thriller. The Gulf Coast resort town of Biloxi, Mississippi, is plagued by vice: Illegal gambling and prostitution are rampant, and Dixie Mafia kingpin Lance Malco controls it all. Jesse Rudy, the crusading new Harrison County DA, has vowed to do whatever it takes to break up Malco’s syndicate. In high school, their sons Hugh Malco and Keith Rudy had been baseball teammates with big-league dreams and an unshakeable bond, but since then, their lives have taken very different turns. Nobody does emotionally charged courtroom drama like Grisham, who stokes the tension as Hugh and Keith turn into bitter rivals before everything explodes in a fascinating confrontation. Rich in both family turmoil and procedural action, this is a great read for cozy nights in.
