Chlapci z Biloxi (slovensky) – Grisham John (2024)

Two families, two sides of the law. For the last hundred years, Biloxi has been known as a pleasant resort and a city full of seafood processing businesses. However, it also had a dark side. Corruption and vices of all kinds, from gambling to prostitution, illegal alcohol production, drugs, and even contract killings. A handful of gangsters controlled the vices, and it was rumored that they belonged to the infamous Southern Mafia. Keith Rudy and Hugh Malco grew up in Biloxi in the 1960s, both coming from immigrant families from Eastern Europe. In childhood, they were inseparable friends, known to all as stars of the baseball team. Their paths diverged on the threshold of adulthood. Keith's father became a feared prosecutor, determined to 'clean up the coast,' while Hugh's father became the head of Biloxi's underworld. Keith studied law and followed in his father's footsteps. Hugh preferred the nightlife and worked in family businesses. Ultimately, both families met in a decisive battle – where else but in the courtroom. In this family saga rich in historical facts and unforgettable characters, it is literally a matter of life and death.
