Klappentext

A box set of John Grisham's bestselling legal thrillers, The Firm, A Time to Kill, and The Pelican Brief.

In The Firm, recent Harvard Law graduate Mitch McDeere is recruited by a very private, very rich tax firm in Memphis. He and his wife, Abby, move to Tennessee to begin their new life, but Mitch soon senses trouble. When two partners die in a suspicious accident off Grand Cayman, the FBI corners him into an impossible choice: they’ll bust him if he doesn’t cooperate, and the firm will kill him if he does.

In A Time to Kill, the life of a ten-year-old black girl is shattered by two drunken and remorseless white men. The mostly white town of Clanton, Mississippi, reacts with shock and horror at the inhuman crime—until the girl’s father acquires an assault rifle and takes justice into his own hands. For ten days, defense attorney Jake Brigance struggles to save his client’s life—and then his own.

In The Pelican Brief, after two Supreme Court justices are assassinated, law student Darby Shaw writes a legal brief—a brilliant guess that suddenly puts her life in danger. When Darby becomes the target of a deadly cover-up, the only person she can trust is an ambitious reporter in need of a story. Together, they race to piece together a deadly puzzle before time runs out.
