After two three-year-old girls were raped and murdered in rural Mississippi, law enforcement pursued and convicted two innocent men: Kennedy Brewer and Levon Brooks. Together they spent a combined thirty years in prison before finally being exonerated in 2008. Meanwhile, the real killer remained free. The Cadaver King and the Country Dentist recounts the story of how the criminal justice system allowed this to happen and of how two men, Dr. Steven Hayne and Dr. Michael West, built successful careers on the back of that structure. For nearly two decades, Hayne, a medical examiner, performed the vast majority of Mississippi's autopsies, while his friend Dr. West, a local dentist, pitched himself as a forensic jack-of-all-trades. Together they became the go-to experts for prosecutors and helped put countless Mississippians in prison. But then some of those convictions began to fall apart. Here, Radley Balko and Tucker Carrington tell the haunting story of how the courts and Mississippi's death investigation system--a relic of the Jim Crow era--failed to deliver justice for its citizens. The authors argue that bad forensics, structural racism, and institutional failures are at fault, raising sobering questions about our ability and willingness to address these crucial issues.

__________________***NOW A MAJOR NETFLIX SERIES***A gripping true-crime story of a shocking miscarriage of justice, from international bestselling thriller author John Grisham. In the baseball draft of 1971, Ron Williamson was the first player chosen from Oklahoma. Signing with Oakland, he said goodbye to his small home town and left for California to pursue his dreams of glory. Six years later he was back, his dreams broken by a bad arm and bad habits - drinking, drugs and women. He began to show signs of mental illness. Unable to keep a job, he moved in with his mother and slept 20 hours a day on her sofa. In 1982, a 21 year-old cocktail waitress, Debra Sue Carter, was raped and murdered, and for five years the crime went unsolved. Finally, desperate for someone to blame, police came to suspect Ron Williamson and his friend Dennis Fritz. The two were finally arrested in 1987 and charged with murder. With no physical evidence, the prosecution's case was built on junk science and the testimony of jailhouse snitches and convicts. Dennis Fritz was found guilty and given a life sentence. Ron Williamson was sent to Death Row. But as Grisham methodically lays out, there was no case against him. Ron Williamson was wrongly condemned to die. If you believe that in America you are innocent until proven guilty, this book will shock you. If you believe in the death penalty, this book will disturb you. If you believe the criminal justice system is fair, this book will infuriate you.__________________In 2018, THE INNOCENT MAN was adapted by Netflix into a gripping six-part true crime series.__________________‘A master at the art of deft characterisation and the skilful delivery of hair-raising crescendos' – Irish Independent'John Grisham is the master of legal fiction' – Jodi Picoult'The best thriller writer alive' – Ken Follett‘John Grisham has perfected the art of cooking up convincing, fast-paced thrillers’ – Telegraph‘Grisham is a superb, instinctive storyteller’ – The Times‘Grisham's storytelling genius reminds us that when it comes to legal drama, the master is in a league of his own.’ – Daily Record‘Masterful – when Grisham gets in the courtroom he lets rip, drawing scenes so real they're not just alive, they're pulsating’ – Mirror‘A giant of the thriller genre’ – TimeOut

Ett ovärderligt originalmanuskript till F Scott Fitzgeralds Den store Gatsby stjäls från ett bibliotek. Tjuvarna fångas men manuset tycks spårlöst försvunnet och ett företag anlitas för att försöka ta reda på vart manuset kan ha tagit vägen. Bruce Cable äger en populär bokhandel på Camino Island i Florida. Rykten säger att han i sin källare har en skattkammare av oväntat slag: mängder med manus och exklusiva böcker. Den inte så framgångsrika författaren Mercer Mann får i uppdrag att infiltrera bokhandeln. Hon har skrivkramp och tvivlar på sin talang som författare, dessutom är hon pank. Mercer lovas en rundlig ersättning om hon kan ta reda på vad Bruce Cable har i sin källare. Uppdraget går inte alls som planerat - Mercer dras snabbt in i Bruces förtrollande värld av litterära samtal och långa överdådiga middagar med både lokala och världskända författare. Camino Island är en härligt spännande roman om att lyssna till sin inre röst och hålla fast vid det man tror på.

John Grisham returns to Clanton, Mississippi, to tell the story of an unthinkable murder, the bizarre trial that followed it, and its profound and lasting effect on the people of Ford County. Pete Banning was Clanton's favourite son, a returning war hero, the patriarch of a prominent family, a farmer, father, neighbour, and a faithful member of the Methodist Church. Then one cool October morning in 1946. he rose early, drove into town, walked into the church, and calmly shot and killed the Reverend Dexter Bell. As if the murder wasn't shocking enough, it was even more baffling that Pete's only statement about it - to the sheriff, to his defense attorney, to the judge, to his family and friends, and to the people of Clanton - was 'I have nothing to say'. And so the murder of the esteemed Reverend Bell became the most mysterious and unforgettable crime Ford County had ever known.

En dag får Lacy ett märkligt tips, någon känner till att en av Floridas mest oantastliga domare tar emot mutor. När Lacy börjar gräva i tipset visar det sig att det finns en utbredd organiserad brottslighet som rör allt från casinoverksamhet till husbyggen till olaglig arbetskraft i denna idylliska solskensstat. Men hur kommer man åt brotten när allt kontrolleras av lagen själv? Med Visselblåsaren visar John Grisham återigen varför han är en av världens mest älskade spänningsförfattare.

Advokaten er en modig, morsom og spennende juridisk thriller med en av Grishams mest fargerike og provoserende helter. Sebastian Rudd tar klienter ingen andre advokater vil komme i nærheten av. Han mener at alle bør få en rettferdig rettergang, selv om han noen ganger må trikse litt for å oppnå nettopp det. Han hater urettferdighet, forsikringsselskaper, banker og store selskaper, og politikere av alle slag. Han irriterer på seg folk på begge sider av loven. Men ting er i ferd med å bli enda mer komplisert for Sebastian. Han går med på å forsvare Arch Swanger, som er hovedmistenkt i bortføringen og sannsynligvis drapet på 21-år gamle Kemp Jilin, den assisterende politimesterens datter.
