#1 NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER - John Grisham takes you to a different kind of court in his first basketball novel. Samuel "Sooley" Sooleymon is a raw, young talent with big hoop dreams--and even bigger challenges off the court. "Hard to put down ... the pages turn quickly ... building to a climax that won't leave readers doubting whether this is a John Grisham novel." --Associated PressIn the summer of his seventeenth year, Sam­uel Sooleymon gets the chance of a lifetime: a trip to the United States with his South Sudanese teammates to play in a showcase basket­ball tournament. He has never been away from home, nor has he ever been on an airplane. The opportunity to be scouted by dozens of college coaches is a dream come true. Samuel is an amazing athlete, with speed, quick­ness, and an astonishing vertical leap. The rest of his game, though, needs work, and the American coaches are less than impressed. During the tournament, Samuel receives dev­astating news from home: A civil war is raging across South Sudan, and rebel troops have ran­sacked his village. His father is dead, his sister is missing, and his mother and two younger brothers are in a refugee camp. Samuel desperately wants to go home, but it's just not possible. Partly out of sympathy, the coach of North Carolina Central offers him a scholar­ship. Samuel moves to Durham, enrolls in classes, joins the team, and prepares to sit out his freshman season. There is plenty of more mature talent and he isn't immediately needed. But Samuel has something no other player has: a fierce determination to succeed so he can bring his family to America. He works tirelessly on his game, shooting baskets every morning at dawn by himself in the gym, and soon he's dominating everyone in practice. With the Central team los­ing and suffering injury after injury, Sooley, as he is nicknamed, is called off the bench. And the legend begins. But how far can Sooley take his team? And will success allow him to save his family? Gripping and moving, Sooley showcases John Grisham's unparalleled storytelling powers in a whole new light. This is Grisham at the top of his game.

För varje oskyldig som skickas till fängelse så finns det en skyldig som klarar sig undan. 1998 våldtog och ströp Travis Boyette en omtyckt cheerleader i östra Texas. Han grävde ner hennes kropp så att den aldrig skulle hittas, sedan följde han fascinerat hur polisen och åklagaren häktade och dömde Donté Drumm, en ung fotbollsstjärna, till döden. Nu, nio år senare, har Travis frisläppts i Kansas för ett annat brott – och Donté har fyra dagar kvar till sin avrättning. Travis lider av en dödlig hjärntumör och för första gången i sitt liv bestämmer han sig för att göra något etiskt rätt, nämligen syndabekänna. Men hur kan en skyldig man övertyga advokater, domare och politiker att de är på väg att avrätta en oskyldig man?

Ühes Florida väikelinnas tapetakse õhtul kauemaks tööle jäänud noor jurist jahipüssilasuga pähe. Üsna kiiresti leitakse oletatav süüdlane. "Keith ajas tema lahutuse asju, aga mehele jäid suured elatisrahad maksta ja ta oli Keithi peale väga vihane," ütlevad ühed. "Ta oli vägivaldne ja käis tihti jahil," väidab endine abikaasa. "Ma kuulsin mingit pauku ja nägin, kuidas must mees jooksis üle tänava; tal oli käes piklik ese, mis võis vabalt olla püss," ütleb tunnistaja. "Ta kiitles, et oli õigluse jalule seadnud ja püssi pärast seda merre visanud," tunnistab kongikaaslane eeluurimisvanglast. Kõik see juhtus 22 aastat tagasi. Kogu selle aja on Quincy Miller istunud vanglas ja seletanud kõigile, kes on nõustunud kuulama, et tema pole süüdi. Kuid uskuma jääb teda ainult üks mees, vanglat vaimulikuna külastanud Cullen Post. Mittetulundusühing Vahimehed, kus Post tegutseb, sellega tegelebki, et püüab korraldada süütult surma mõistetute kohtuasjade uut läbivaatamist ja nende inimeste vanglast väljaaitamist. Vahel see õnnestub, vahel mitte. Milleri vabastamisega läheb asi kardetust keerulisemaks, sest juristi tapja(d) ei taha mingi hinna eest, et see vana lugu uuesti päevavalgele toodaks.

En ung advokat hittas skjuten till döds på sitt kontor. Trots att polisen egentligen inte hittar några bindande bevis faller misstankarna mot en av advokatens tidigare klienter, den unge svarte Quincy Miller.

Till slut får han kontakt med Guardian Ministries, en liten byrå som drivs av Cullen Post och som enbart tar sig an ett begränsat antal fall åt gången. När Post börjar engagera sig i Quincy Miller märker han snabbt att mäktiga människor såg till att sätta Miller i fängelse för tjugotvå år sedan, och mäktiga krafter är fortfarande aktiva…

In THE WHISTLER, she took on a crime syndicate that was paying millions to a crooked judge. Now, in THE JUDGE'S LIST, the crimes are even worse.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - John Grisham returns to Florida, where The Whistler's Lacy Stoltz takes on a cold case that reveals a judge's darkest secrets. "One of the best crime reads of the year . . . a world-class shocker, worth staying up all night to finish."--The Wall Street Journal In The Whistler, Lacy Stoltz investigated a corrupt judge who was taking millions in bribes from a crime syndicate. She put the criminals away, but only after being attacked and nearly killed. Three years later, and approaching forty, she is tired of her work for the Florida Board on Judicial Conduct and ready for a change. Then she meets a mysterious woman who is so frightened she uses a number of aliases. Jeri Crosby's father was murdered twenty years earlier in a case that remains unsolved and that has grown stone cold. But Jeri has a suspect whom she has become obsessed with and has stalked for two decades. Along the way, she has discovered other victims. The man Jeri holds responsible for all these deaths is brilliant, patient, and always one step ahead of law enforcement. He is the most cunning of all serial killers. He knows forensics, police procedure, and most important: he knows the law. He is a judge, in Florida--under Lacy's jurisdiction. But the man keeps a record of all his victims and targets, people unlucky enough to have crossed his path and wronged him in some way. Lacy must work to take him down, while somehow keeping her name off his list.
