A Mississippi Southern Short Story Collection of Ford County Lawyers, Small-Town Scandals, and Dark Comedy
Returning to fictional Ford County, Mississippi—the setting of his classic legal thriller A Time to Kill—John Grisham presents seven short stories exploring small-town Southern life beyond courtroom walls.
Highlights include "Blood Drive," where three drunken local men embark on an ill-fated road trip to Memphis to donate blood for an injured friend, alongside tales of blackmailed personal injury lawyers, small-town casino swindles, and quiet acts of rural redemption.
