Summary
Finalist for the 2023 AUDIE AWARDS® for Thriller/Suspense
The next astonishing thriller from the master of the legal thriller.
Sunday Times No 1 bestseller John Grisham returns to Mississippi in his most gripping thriller yet.
For most of the last hundred years, Biloxi was known for its beaches, resorts, and seafood industry. But it had a darker side. It was also notorious for corruption and vice, everything from gambling, prostitution, bootleg liquor, drugs . . . even contract killings. The vice was controlled by a small cabal of mobsters, many of them rumoured to be members of the Dixie Mafia.
Keith Rudy and Hugh Malco grew up in Biloxi in the sixties and were childhood friends. But as teenagers, their lives took them in different directions. Keith's father became a legendary prosecutor, determined to 'clean up the Coast.' Hugh's father became the 'Boss' of Biloxi's criminal underground. Keith went to law school and followed in his father's footsteps. Hugh preferred the nightlife and worked in his father's clubs. The two families were headed for a showdown, one that would happen in a courtroom.
Rich with history and with a large cast of unforgettable characters, The Boys from Biloxi is a sweeping saga of two sons of immigrant families who grow up as friends, but ultimately find themselves in a knife-edge legal confrontation in which life itself hangs in the balance.
In this novel, Grisham takes his powerful storytelling to the next level, his trademark twists and turns will keep you tearing through the chapters until the stunning conclusion.

A veritable tour de force
What a ride. Historical and gripping. Captivating characters. Great narrator. Best Grisham in at least a decade.

Bad
The story is long and pointless but the narration is just horrible… it’s like a mockery of the characters…

Worst Grisham book I read
At least third of the book should have been edited out; dragging and difficult to connect with the characters.
