![]() As Brigance prepares his case, he learns a secret that he hopes will bolster his chances in court. A judge taps Brigance to defend Drew after the teenager is charged with intentional homicide. After dialing 911 to report Josie’s murder, Drew takes the sleeping lawman’s service weapon and shoots him in the head. Josie’s 16-year-old son, Drew, believes his unresponsive mother is dead, and fears Kofer will attack Kiera. Kofer falls asleep after a half-hearted attempt to break into the room of Josie’s 14-year-old daughter, Kiera, whom he has sexually abused. In a drunken rage, Kofer falsely accuses Josie of infidelity, and knocks her unconscious. At the start of bestseller Grisham’s disappointing third outing for attorney Jake Brigance (after 2013’s Sycamore Row), deputy sheriff Stu Kofer comes home one night in 1990 to the isolated house outside Clanton, Miss., he shares with his lover, Josie. ![]()
