法律懸疑大作《殺戮時刻》約翰.葛里遜回歸初衷之作
名列當代暢銷小說之作《殺戮時刻》,奠定約翰.葛里遜法律驚悚書籍大家的地位。這次他帶領讀者回到福特郡,目睹律師傑克.布里根斯再次捲入一樁爭議性十足的官司,揭露因種族衝突而起的不堪過往。 富翁希斯.賀伯因久病纏身不堪肺癌折磨,毅然在懸鈴木下自縊。然而身後的一紙遺囑與龐大遺產,卻引爆家族與黑人女傭以及委任律師間的嚴重衝突。第二張遺囑從何而來?一場勾心鬥角、爾虞我詐的法律攻防於焉展開,然而出乎眾人意料之外的是,事件背後竟然還埋藏著一段悲傷歷史…… John Grisham takes you back
to where it all began. One of the most popular novels of our time, A Time to Kill established John Grisham as the master of the legal thriller. Now we return to Ford County as Jake Brigance finds himself embroiled in a fiercely controversial trial that exposes a tortured history of racial tension. Seth Hubbard is a wealthy man dying of lung cancer. He trusts no one. Before he hangs himself from a sycamore tree, Hubbard leaves a new, handwritten will. It is an act that drags his adult children, his black maid, and Jake into a conflict as riveting and dramatic as the murder trial that made Brigance one of Ford County's most notorious citizens, just three years earlier. The second will raises many more questions than it answers. Why would Hubbard leave nearly all of his fortune to his maid? Had chemotherapy and painkillers affected his ability to think clearly? And what does it all have to do with a piece of land once known as Sycamore Row? |
