A Time for Mercy to come out on October 13, 2020

The description of John Grisham’s A Time for Mercy reveals how Jack Brigance takes on the impossible case. It said that Deputy Stuart Kofer was a protected man. Though he turned his drunken rages on girlfriend Josie and children many times, the police had always managed to shield him. However, one night, the deputy went far and left Josie for dead on the floor before he passed out. Her sixteen-year-old son Drew picked up the gun and took the law in his hands. However, Jake Brigance, who was well-experienced to solve the case, did not want to pick it and defend the young boy. When the trial began, the only outcome was the gas chamber for Drew. But Jake Brigance took the case and proved that everything was possible.

Publisher Oliver Johnson reportedly acquired the UK and Commonwealth rights of the author’s new book. According to The Bookseller, John Grisham’s UK editor, Johnson talked about A Time for Mercy. He called it 'special' as it had the same set of Clanton, Mississippi, and lawyer hero Jake Brigance, like the second book. The editor recalled buying A Time to Kill thirty years ago, and how its film adaptation launched the career of Matthew McConaughey. Speaking about the upcoming novel, he lauded the courtroom drama and was confident that the author’s fans would love it.
