The next day America learns that two of its Supreme Court justices have been assassinated. And in New Orleans, a young law student prepares a legal brief. To Darby Shaw it was no more than a legal shot in the dark, a brilliant guess. To the Washington establishment it's political dynamite. Suddenly Darby is witness to a murder-a murder intended for her. Going underground, she finds that there is only one person-an ambitious reporter after a newsbreak hotter than Watergate-she can trust to help her piece together the deadly puzzle.

Why these clients? Because he believes everyone is entitled to a fair trial, even if he, Sebastian, has to cheat to secure one. He hates injustice, doesn't like insurance companies, banks,or big corporations; he distrusts all levels of government and laughs at the justice system's notions of ethical behavior.

John Grisham is now an institution -- a writer whose bestselling status is assured, So assured, in fact, that expectations for each new book are as high as can be imagined. Does The Appeal make the grade? And will it appeal to Grisham admirers -- or disappoint them?The stakes in the novel's plot are high: corporate crime on the largest scale. The duo of lawyers at the centre of the narrative are Mary and Wes Grace, who succeed in a multimillion dollar case against a chemical company, who have polluted a town with dumped toxic waste. A slew of agonising deaths have followed this, but lawyers for the chemical company appeal, and a variety of legal shenanigans are employed -- and it is certainly not clear which way the scales of justice will be finally balanced.As ever with Grisham, the mechanics of plotting are key, and the characterisation is functional rather than detailed. But it is (as always) more than capable of keeping the reader totally engaged. Given John Grisham's much-publicised conversion to born-again Christianity, it's intriguing to note here the implicit criticism of the moral majority's religious values, but that is hardly central to the enterprise. What counts is the storytelling, and while the writing is as straightforward and uncomplicated as ever, few readers will put down The Appeal once they have allowed it to exert its grip on upon them. --Barry Forshaw

Rick Dockery was the third-string quarterback for the Cleveland Browns. In the AFC Championship game against Denver, to the surprise and dismay of virtually everyone, Rick actually got into the game. With a 17-point lead and just minutes to go, Rick provided what was arguably the worst single performance in the history of the NFL. Overnight, he became a national laughingstock and, of course, was immediately cut by the Browns and shunned by all other teams. But all Rick knows is football, and he insists that his agent, Arnie, find a team that needs him. Against enormous odds Arnie finally locates just such a team and informs Rick that, miraculously, he can in fact now be a starting quarterback-for the mighty Panthers of Parma, Italy. Yes, Italians do play American football, to one degree or another, and the Parma Panthers desperately want a former NFL player-any former NFL player-at their helm. So Rick reluctantly agrees to play for the Panthers-at least until a better offer comes along-and heads off to Italy. He knows nothing about Parma, has never been to Europe, and doesn't speak or understand a word of Italian. To say that Italy holds a few surprises for Rick Dockery would be something of an understatement. From the Trade Paperback edition.

Małe miasteczko i wielka prawnicza batalia, którą żyje cały stan Missisipi. Jake Brigance, młody prawnik z Czasu zabijania, powraca o kilka lat starszy, ale wciąż gotowy bronić swoich klientów do ostatniego tchu. Wydawać by się mogło, że wystąpienie w głośnym procesie w roli obrońcy czarnoskórego ojca oskarżonego o zabicie białych mężczyzn, którzy zgwałcili jego córkę, otworzy Jake’owi Brigance’owi drogę do sławy i pieniędzy. Tymczasem trzy lata później nadal jest małomiasteczkowym adwokatem borykającym się z problemami. Szansa na zmianę tej sytuacji pojawia się, gdy nieuleczalnie chory Seth Hubbart popełnia samobójstwo i pozostawia po sobie kontrowersyjny testament, którego sądowe zatwierdzenie powierza Jake’owi. Nie będzie łatwo udowodnić – przed ławą przysięgłych, w której zasiadają głównie biali – że zmarły, zapisując niemal cały swój majątek czarnoskórej gosposi, był w pełni władz umysłowych. Zwłaszcza że przeciwnikami Jake’a Brigance’a będą prawnicy z najlepszych kancelarii w Memphis i Jackson, z których każdy będzie próbował uszczknąć dla siebie kawałek ze smakowitego tortu. Clanton ponownie podzieli się na białych i czarnych. A nad okolicą zawiśnie złowrogi cień Ku-Klux-Klanu.

"L'ultima storia" segna l'avvincente ritorno di John Grisham al mystery, dopo il felice esordio de "Il caso Fitzgerald", che ancora una volta trascina il lettore in una nuova e appassionante avventura. È piena estate e a Camino Island sta per abbattersi un uragano di proporzioni allarmanti. Il governatore della Florida ordina a tutti gli abitanti l'immediata evacuazione dell'isola. La maggior parte fugge sulla terraferma, ma Bruce Cable, noto libraio e collezionista di libri antichi, nonché animatore della vita culturale dell'isola, decide di rimanere sul posto. Come previsto, l'uragano devasta ogni cosa, abbattendo alberi e danneggiando gravemente abitazioni, alberghi e negozi, e purtroppo ci sono delle vittime. Tra queste Nelson Kerr, un noto scrittore di thriller amico di Bruce. Ma la furia della tempesta non sembra essere stata la causa della sua morte. I numerosi colpi alla testa farebbero pensare a ben altro. Chi può aver voluto Nelson morto? La polizia locale non è solita occuparsi di omicidi, meno che mai in un momento di emergenza come questo, e Bruce inizia la sua personale indagine. E se la morte dell'amico fosse legata in qualche modo ai suoi romanzi, e soprattutto all'ultimo romanzo, ancora inedito e custodito nel suo computer? Quello che Bruce scoprirà è molto più sconvolgente dei colpi di scena delle storie di Nelson Kerr.

Тело судьи и труп его секретарши обнаружили в домике у озера, причем следы взлома и борьбы отсутствовали. А еще в хижине обнаружили настежь распахнутый, пустой сейф… Кто убил Фосетта и почему? И что хранилось в сейфе? Ответы на эти вопросы, похоже, знает лишь один человек – заключенный лагеря в штате Мэриленд Малкольм Баннистер, бывший адвокат, осужденный за то, чего не совершал. Баннистер готов помочь агентам ФБР, предоставив им информацию. Но за помощь он требует слишком много. И к тому же не понятно, можно ли вообще ему доверять…
