John Grisham

Adam Hill is in his first year at a top Chicago law firm. He volunteers for the toughest assignment any lawyer could ask for. His prospective client doesn't want Adam or his law firm. He is an unrepentent and outspoken racist with a violent past. He is on Death Row for the murder of two Jewish children in a horrific bombing in 1967.

Takes you into the heart of America's Deep South with a collection of stories connected by the life and crimes of Ford County: a place of harsh beauty where broken dreams and final wishes converge. This title features a vivid cast of attorneys, crooks, hustlers, and convicts.

But he has a secret from his past, a secret that threatens to destroy his entire life. One night that secret catches up with him in the form of a deeply compromising video of the incident that haunts him.

John Grisham is known worldwide as the master of the legal thriller, and one of our most popular novelists, but his lifelong passion for justice has also led him to work extensively with The Innocence Project, and inspired him to tell often shocking stories of wrongful convictions-first in The Innocent Man, the basis for the Netflix documentary, and most recently in the number one New York Times bestseller Framed, written with Jim McCloskey. Now he turns an unflinching eye to the tragic case of Robert Roberson, a Texas father who has spent years on death row for a crime he did not commit. In Shaken: The Rush to Execute an Innocent Man, he exposes the many failures that led to a blameless man's death sentence, and a justice system more eager for a conviction than the truth. Powerful, urgent, and frequently unimaginable, this is both a riveting legal drama as only John Grisham can tell it, and a searing indictment of America's criminal justice system.

Epätoivoinen kilpajuoksu aikaa vastaan. Pienen paikkakunnan asianajajaa syytetään murhasta, ja hänen ainoa mahdollisuutensa selvitä ehjin nahoin on löytää todellinen tappaja. Simon Latch toimii asianajajana Virginian maaseudulla ja ansaitsee juuri sen verran, että saa laskut maksettua. Kun hänen toimistoonsa astuu Eleanor Barnett, iäkäs leski, joka tarvitsee uuden testamentin perittyään yllättäen sievoisen summan, Simon tuntee onnensa kääntyneen. Mutta sitten Eleanor joutuu auto-onnettomuuteen, ja Simon ymmärtää, että mikään ei ole sitä miltä näyttää. Pian häntä syytetään rikoksesta, ja vaikka Simon tietää olevansa syytön, todisteet osoittavat toisin. Vapautuakseen Simonin on löydettävä todellinen syyllinen ennen kuin on liian myöhäistä. John Grisham (s. 1955) on maailman arvostetuimpia ja menestyneimpiä jännityskirjailijoita. Hän toimi asianajajana, kun hänen esikoisteoksensa On aika tappaa julkaistiin. Sen jälkeen kaikki hänen teoksensa ovat nousseet järjestään New York Times -bestsellerlistan ykkösiksi. Kun Grisham ei kirjoita, hän toimii hallituksen jäsenenä kahdessa amerikkalaisessa järjestössä, jotka ovat omistautuneet väärin tuomittujen vapauttamiselle. Suuri osa Grishamin kaunokirjallisesta tuotannosta käsitteleekin juuri syvälle juurtuneita ongelmia amerikkalaisessa rikosoikeusjärjestelmässä.

Once he's hooked the richest client of his career, Simon works quietly to keep her wealth under the radar. But it's a terrible mistake. Hidden secrets have a way of being found out, and when Eleanor is hospitalised after a car accident, Simon realises that nothing is as it seems. As events spiral out of control, he finds himself on trial for a crime he swears he didn't commit: murder. The Widow is classic Grisham courtroom drama combined with a confounding murder mystery that will enthral his legion of fans. ??350+ million copies, 45 languages, 10 blockbuster films: JOHN GRISHAM IS THE MASTER OF THE LEGAL THRILLER??

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER - In his first collection of short stories John Grisham takes us back to Ford County, Mississippi, the setting of his first novel, A Time to Kill. Wheelchair-bound Inez Graney and her two older sons, Leon and Butch, take a bizarre road trip through the Mississippi Delta to visit the youngest Graney brother, Raymond, who's been locked away on death row for eleven years. It could well be their last visit. Mack Stafford, a hard-drinking and low-grossing run-of-the-mill divorce lawyer gets a miracle phone call with a completely unexpected offer to settle some old, forgotten cases for more money than he has ever seen. Mack is suddenly bored with the law, fed up with his wife and his life, and makes drastic plans to finally escape. Quiet, dull Sidney, a data collector for an insurance company, perfects his blackjack skills in hopes of bringing down the casino empire of Clanton's most ambitious hustler, Bobby Carl Leach, who, among other crimes, has stolen Sidney's wife. Three good ol' boys from rural Ford County begin a journey to the big city of Memphis to give blood to a grievously injured friend. However, they are unable to drive past a beer store as the trip takes longer and longer. The journey comes to an abrupt end when they make a fateful stop at a Memphis strip club. The Quiet Haven Retirement Home is the final stop for the elderly of Clanton. It's a sad, languid place with little controversy, until Gilbert arrives. Posing as a lowly paid bedpan boy, he is in reality a brilliant stalker with an uncanny ability to sniff out the assets of those "seniors" he professes to love. One of the hazards of litigating against people in a small town is that one day, long after the trial, you will probably come face-to-face with someone you've beaten in a lawsuit. Lawyer Stanley Wade bumps into an old adversary, a man with a long memory, and the encounter becomes a violent ordeal. Clanton is rocked with the rumor that the gay son of a prominent family has finally come home, to die. Of AIDS. Fear permeates the town as gossip runs unabated. But in Lowtown, the colored section of Clanton, the young man finds a soul mate in his final days. Featuring a cast of characters you'll never forget, these stories bring Ford County to vivid and colorful life. Often hilarious, frequently moving, and always entertaining, this collection makes it abundantly clear why John Grisham is our most popular storyteller.
