About the Book

Fetching Raymond: A Story from the Ford County Collection is a riveting, emotionally charged short story by legal thriller master John Grisham, drawn from his acclaimed Ford County collection and available as a standalone read. Returning to the fictional Ford County, Mississippi, the same setting that launched his career in A Time to Kill, Grisham brings the Graney family and their world to vivid, unforgettable life in this compact but powerful tale.

Wheelchair-bound Inez Graney and her two older sons, Leon and Butch, set out on a bizarre, emotionally fraught road trip through the Mississippi Delta to visit the youngest Graney brother, Raymond, who has spent eleven years locked away on death row. It could well be their last visit. As the family makes their way toward Raymond, and toward the reckoning that awaits him, Grisham weaves together dark humor, deep sorrow, and stark family dysfunction into a story that captures the human cost of crime, punishment, and a justice system he has spent much of his career examining. Praised for its sharp, lean prose and quiet emotional power, this story showcases a different side of Grisham's storytelling range, one that trades courtroom drama for something more intimate, bittersweet, and unflinching.
