Synopsis#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * From "a legal literary legend" ( USA Today ) comes a gripping thriller of two childhood friends who find themselves on opposite sides of the law as adults, with all of John Grisham's trademark twists and turns. 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, and drugs to contract killings. The vice was controlled by small cabal of mobsters, many of them rumored to be members of the Dixie Mafia. Keith Rudy and Hugh Malco grew up in Biloxi in the sixties and were childhood friends, as well as Little League all-stars. 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 ultimately happen in a courtroom. Life itself hangs in the balance in The Boys from Biloxi, a sweeping saga rich with history and with a large cast of unforgettable characters., #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - From "a legal literary legend" ( USA Today ) comes a gripping thriller of two childhood friends who find themselves on opposite sides of the law as adults, with all of John Grisham's trademark twists and turns.

  • Cleaning up Biloxi

    Engaging fight of law and order set in Biloxi. Father and son #1 are gangsters, father and son # 2 are attorneys and seeking to clean up crime. Interesting note that son #1 and son #2 were childhood friends. The story is replete with many characters, most of whom are criminals. Book is in great shape.
