Jake Brigance will accept Drew Gamble's defense, a young man accused of murdering a policeman. The sharply monitored trial divides the local residents - many want a rapid trial and death penalty, but Jake sees it differently. As soon as they find out more about the case, they understand that they have to do everything possible to save Drew, only sixteen years old. Jake's determination to find the truth threatens his career and the safety of his family.
The book Time to forgive is full of judicial machinations, small -town intrigues and story twists, which are typical of the riveting stories of John Grishama, who again confirms his reputation as the Master of the Law Thrillers and the exceptional narrator.
