Publisher's summary

Two from the master of the legal thriller:

A Time to Kill:
The life of a 10-year-old black girl is shattered by two drunken and remorseless young men. The mostly white town reacts with shock and horror at the inhuman crime, until her father acquires an assault rifle and takes justice into his own outraged hands.

For 10 days, with burning crosses and the crack of sniper fire spreading through the streets of Clanton, Mississippi, the nation sits spellbound as young defense attorney Jack Brigance struggles to save his client's life...and then his own.

The King of Torts:
When Clay Carter of the public defender's office reluctantly takes the case of a young man charged with a random street killing, he assumes it is just another of the many senseless murders that hit D.C. every week. But as he digs into the background of his client, Clay stumbles on a conspiracy too horrible to believe. He suddenly finds himself in the middle of a complex case against one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world, looking at the kind of enormous settlement that would totally change his life - that would make him, almost overnight, the legal profession's newest king of torts.

Different but enjoyable

Not necessarily the usual Grisham but I enjoyed it. I also enjoyed the performance. Definitely makes you think about the power of greed.

Time to kill is great, but issues with king of torts

A TIme to Kill is a great story, with great characters and performer. It is a 5star story and worth the credit all by its self. If you use a monthly credit to purchase this bundle, you get King of torts for free. And I would only get king of torts if it was free. The story is predictable and you can see the end coming from a couple miles away. Then There is a problem with the recording of the king of torts. A section has what sounds like static.

Mathew McConaughey should Narrate the Jake Briganc

Who wouldn't buy a version of the Jake Brigance series if Mathew McConaughey narrated an unabridged series?!
