The Boys from Biloxi

John Grisham is a heck of a good storyteller. If you're a fan of legal machinations with some actual human stories behind them, he's hard to beat. This tale of two families - and two boys - who grow up as neighbors and teammates but end up on different sides of the law holds your attention easily.

Confession: I really like Grisham's books but I can't read too many of them too close together. And I still think "A Time to Kill" is his best one.
