Wisconsin Book Festival Presents John Grisham and Ian Rankin for A Time for Mercy and A Song for the Dark Times
About A Time for Mercy: Jake Brigance is back! The hero of A Time to Kill, one of the most popular novels of our time, returns in a courtroom drama that The New York Times says is "riveting" and "suspenseful." Clanton, Mississippi. 1990. Jake Brigance finds himself embroiled in a deeply divisive trial when the court appoints him attorney for Drew Gamble, a timid sixteen-year-old boy accused of murdering a local deputy.
About A Song for Dark Times: A thrilling new Rebus novel about crime, punishment, and redemption, from the Edgar Award-winning "genius" of the genre. When his daughter Samantha calls in the dead of night, John Rebus knows it’s not good news. Her husband has been missing for two days. Rebus fears the worst – and knows from his lifetime in the police that his daughter will be the prime suspect. He wasn’t the best father – the job always came first – but now his daughter needs him more than ever.
