“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 money from his clients, divorced his wife, filed for bankruptcy, and left his family in the middle of the night, never to be heard from again—until now. Now Mack is back, and he’s leaning on his old pals, Jake and Harry Rex, to help him return. His homecoming does not go as planned.

In “Strawberry Moon,” we meet Cody Wallace, a young death row inmate only three hours away from execution. His lawyers can’t save him, the courts slam the door, and the governor says no to a last-minute request for clemency. As the clock winds down, Cody has one final request.

The “Sparring Partners” are the Malloy brothers, Kirk and Rusty, two successful young lawyers who inherited a once prosperous firm when its founder, their father, was sent to prison. Kirk and Rusty loathe each other, and speak to each other only when necessary. As the firm disintegrates, the resulting fiasco falls into the lap of Diantha Bradshaw, the only person the partners trust. Can she save the Malloys, or does she take a stand for the first time in her career and try to save herself?

 

“歸鄉”將我們帶回福特郡,這是約翰•葛里遜許多令人難忘的故事的虛構場景。傑克‧布里根斯回來了,但他並非出現在法庭上。他受命幫助一位老友麥克•史塔福德,麥克曾是克蘭頓的一名律師,三年前,他盜取客戶的錢後與妻子離婚,然後申請破產,並在半夜拋下家人,成了當地的傳奇人物,從此消聲匿跡--直到現在才出現。如今麥克回來了,他靠他的老友傑克和哈利•瑞克斯來協助他返鄉。他的歸來並沒有能照著計劃進行。
 
在“草莓月亮”中,我們認識了科迪•華萊士,他是一個再過三個小時就要被執行死刑的年輕死囚。他的律師救不了他,法庭關上大門,州長拒絕了最後一刻的求情。隨著時間流逝,科迪提出了最後一項要求。
 
“拌嘴冤家”是馬洛伊家的倆兄弟柯克和瑞斯迪,他們是事業有成的年輕律師,在父親--也是事務所的創始人--被送進監牢後,他們繼承了曾經業務鼎盛的事務所。柯克和瑞斯迪彼此厭惡,只有在必要時才會互相交談。隨著公司的解體,接下來的慘況落在了倆人唯一信任的戴安塔•布萊德肖肩上。她能拯救馬洛伊一家,還是會在她的職業生涯中第一次表明立場並設法拯救她自己?
