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 pages until the stunning conclusion.

Úprimná spoveď matky – manželky, ktorú zlé rozhodnutia vženú priamo
do náruče odborníkov. Ako žena, matka a manželka si je vedomá
svojich chýb, ťarcha rozhodnutí je však oveľa silnejšia. Stráca
nielen svoju rodinu, ale aj to, čo jej bolo najbližšie. Svoje deti.
Skutočný príbeh, tak trochu drsný, trochu podaný s vtipom o ženách,
mužoch a deťoch, ktorým jediné rozhodnutie zmenilo život. V poradí
štrnásta kniha od obľúbenej Evity Urbaníkovej prináša príbeh, ktorý
je zasadený do prostredia rodiny a medziľudských vzťahov. Citát:
Niekedy máme v živote jednoducho smolu. Niekedy sa dostaneme do
prúseru, ani nevieme ako. Ale niekedy si za všetko, čo sa deje,
môžeme sami.
