"Округ Форд" – триумфальное возвращение Гришэма на американский Юг, где разворачивалось действие легендарного романа "Пора убивать", с которого началось победное шествие книг Джона Гришэма по всему миру.

Но возможно, именно поэтому читателю еще интереснее следить за поворотами их судеб – резкими, неожиданными, а порой и по-настоящему опасными…
