Vallomás
Kivégzéshez készülődnek Kelet-Texasban: az elítélt, Donté Drumm, a fekete bőrű sportoló, akire egy gimnazista lány meggyilkolásáért vár a méreginjekció - legalábbis a bírói ítélet szerint ezért mérték ki rá a legsúlyosabb büntetést. A bűnösségével kapcsolatban azonban az első perctől kezdve sok a kétség, elsősorban azért, mert az áldozat holtteste nem került elő. Már csak napok vannak hátra az ítélet végrehajtásáig, és az ügyvédek, versenyt futva az idővel, újabb és újabb beadványokkal bombázzák a bíróságokat, hátha sikerül elérni, hogy elhalasszák a kivégzést.
Mindeközben Keith Schroeder tiszteletes, mit sem tudva Donté Drummról és a közelgő kivégzésről, békében és nyugalomban éli életét a családjával Kansasban. Aztán szinte pillanatok alatt az ügy kellős közepében találja magát. Besétál ugyanis a parókiára egy férfi, Travis Boyette, aki azt állítja, hogy ő ölte meg a lányt, és tudja, hol van a holttest...
Bleachers
High school All-American Neely Crenshaw was probably the best quarterback ever to play for the legendary Messina Spartans. Fifteen years have gone by since those glory days, and Neely has come home to Messina to bury Coach Eddie Rake, the man who molded the Spartans into an unbeatable football dynasty. As Coach Rake's 'boys' sit in the bleachers waiting for the dimming field lights to signal his passing, they replay the old glories, and try to decide once and for all whether they love Eddie Rake - or hate him. For Neely Crenshaw, still struggling to come to terms with his explosive relationship with the Coach, his dreams of a great career in the NFL, and the choices he made as a young man, the stakes could not be higher.
Broker
In his final hours in the Oval Office the outgoing President grants a full pardon to Joel Backman, a notorious Washington power broker who has spent the last six years hidden away in a federal prison. It's a controversial move, but what no one else knows is that the presidential pardon comes as a result of enormous pressure from the CIA. They claim that Backman may have obtained secrets that would compromise the world's most sophisticated satellite surveillance system. Backman is quietly smuggled out of the country in a military cargo plane; he is given a new name, a new identity, and a new home in Italy. Eventually, once he has settled into his new life, the CIA will leak his whereabouts to the Israelis, the Russians, the Chinese and the Saudis. Then the CIA will do what it does best: sit back and watch. The question is not whether Backman will survive - there's no chance of that. The question the CIA needs answered is: who will kill him?

A Painted House
The hill people and the Mexicans arrived on the same day. It was a Wednesday, early in September 1952. The Cardinals were five games behind the Dodgers with two weeks to go, and the season looked hopeless. The cotton, however, was waist high to my father, almost over my head, and he and my grandfather could be heard before supper whispering words that were seldom heard. It could be a "good crop." Thus begins the new novel from John Grisham, a story inspired by his own childhood in rural Arkansas. The narrator is a seven year old farm boy named Luke Chandler, who lives in the cotton fields with his parents and grandparents in a little house that's never been painted. The Chandlers farm eighty acres that they rent, not own, and when the cotton is ready they hire a truckload of Mexicans and a family from the Ozarks to help harvest it. For six weeks they pick cotton, battling the heat, the rain, the fatigue, and sometimes, each other. As the weeks pass Luke sees and hears things no seven year old could possibly be prepared for, and finds himself keeping secrets that not only threaten the crop but will change the lives of the Chandlers forever. A Painted House is a moving story of one boy's journey from innocence to experience.
