À propos de cet audio

 A Time to Kill
The life of a ten-year-old black girl is shattered by two drunken and remorseless young men. The mostly white town reacts with shock and horror at the inhuman crime. Until her father acquires an assault rifle–and takes justice into his own outraged hands.
For ten days, with burning crosses and the crack of sniper fire spreading through the streets of Clanton, Mississippi, the nation sits spellbound as young defense attorney Jack Brigance struggles to save his client’s life… and then his own.

The King of Torts
When Clay Carter of the public defender’s office reluctantly takes the case of a young man charged with a random street killing, he assumes it is just another of the many senseless murders that hit D.C. every week. But as he digs into the background of his client, Clay stumbles on a conspiracy too horrible to believe. He suddenly finds himself in the middle of a complex case against one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world, looking at the kind of enormous settlement that would totally change his life–that would make him, almost overnight, the legal profession’s newest king of torts . . .A Time to Kill ©1992 John Grisham; (P)1992 Random House, Inc.

Loved the books. The sequence of the chapters are out if sync though. Started on chapter 23 of the first book and found the the rest of it in the middle of the next book

2 amazing books for the price of 1. I never heard King of Torts before but it was phenomenal.

Must Buy!

Both books are amazing. A time to kill is hard to listen to due to all the racism and the child involved, but hopefully this is an era mostly over by now in the south. A modern version of this book Grisham should write would be the child victim becoming pregnant and being denied a legal abortion.

The king of torts was a roller coaster, you love the excitement and winning but just cringe at his irresponsible behaviour. Really makes you think about the ethics of all these mass class action cases. Great insight and fascinating.

Idea for Grisham's next book

I love that these two books were bundled together for one credit, and both are great (though one has nothing to do with the other). Michael Beck's narration is flawless. A Time to Kill is a bit of a tough listen (language, content) but authentic to the time and place. It's sort of a modern day retelling of To Kill a Mockingbird. The King of Torts spills the seediest of seedy sides of tort law and the way it can corrupt litigators. highly recommended.

A Double Header and worth the credit
