Un avocat frustr� d�tourne des dommages-int�r�ts de ses clients ; un arnaqueur se pr�tend en partie am�rindien pour ouvrir un casino ; un surveillant dans une maison de retraite manipule les patients et le personnel ; trois hommes partis en vir�e pour faire un don de sang s'arr�tent dans un club de strip-tease et finissent en prison ; la famille d'un homosexuel blanc atteint du sida demande � une vieille femme noire de le soigner jusqu'� sa mort...
Dans un de ses livres les plus personnels, John Grisham nous emm�ne au coeur du comt� du Mississippi o� se d�roulait d�j� l'intrigue de son premier roman, Non coupable. Le sud des �tats-Unis et ses petites villes enclav�es offrent, bien plus qu'un d�cor, un climat, un fi l conducteur et constituent presque un personnage � part enti�re.
Tant�t captivantes, tant�t �mouvantes, ces Chroniques de Ford County d�crivent les destins ordinaires ou extraordinaires de personnages qui se r�v�lent �tonnamment proches de nous : leurs sentiments et leurs faiblesses, bross�s avec justesse et souvent beaucoup d'humour, sont universels. Au d�tour d'une histoire, au creux d'un portrait, on d�couvre, s'il en �tait encore besoin, le talent de conteur de John Grisham.
