Theo has to tell his friend the bad news: for once, the law isn't on his side, and there's very little anyone can do to end the destruction. Theo joins the campaign to stop the road.

Grisham - over 250 millioner solgte bøker!" John Grishams trofaste leserskare vil elske denne boken. Med godgrunn. Den er intenst spennende – og den tar opp et viktig tema: dødsstraff." Tom Egeland, VGEn uskyldig mann er få dager fra henrettelsen. Bare en skyldig mann kan redde ham. Travis Boyette er en morder. I 1998, i Sloan, en liten by i øst-Texas, bortførte, voldtok og kvalte han en populær high school-heiajente. Han begravde kroppen slik at den aldri ville bli funnet, så ble han stående og se på mens politiet og aktoratet arresterte Donte Drumm, en lokal fotballstjerne uten noen forbindelse til forbrytelsen. Drumm ble stilt for retten, erklært skyldig og dømt til døden: Skjebnen hans var forseglet. Ni år senere er Donte Drumm fire dager fra henrettelsen. Over seks hundre kilometer unna, i Kansas, står Travis overfor sin egen dødsdom: En uhelbredelig hjernesvulst som ikke kan opereres og snart vil gjøre slutt på ham. Mens han funderer over sitt elendige liv, bestemmer han seg for å gjøre det rette. Etter mange års taushet er han klar for å tilstå. Men hvordan kan en skyldig mann klare å overbevise advokater, dommere og politikere at de står på nippet til å henrette en uskyldig mann?“Grisham har klekket ut nok et så å si perfekt plott.” Mirror"Kunnskapen til faget og erfaringene fra miljøet gjør John Grisham til en særdeles troverdig forfatter. Legg til en usedvanlig ekte og drivende penn og du har et sikkerstikk i dine hender."

Gert Larsen, Bokstaver.no“John Grisham blir naturlig nok hyllet for sine gnistrende juridiske thrillere, og på det feltet har han få likemenn.” Daily Express“Tilståelsen er en lufteventil for forfatterens overbevisninger, men den er også en fengslende leseopplevelse. Grisham er nøye med å aldri moralisere … han glemmer aldri hovedformålet, som er å underholde … Fanklubben vil få alt det de forventer av en ny Grisham-roman.” Independent“Tilståelsen er en kampanje i romans form, et angrep på dødsstraffen og en bestemt form for justis (med et ondartet samrøre av gangsterliknende purker, kuede dommere og embetsmenn som har vunnet valg på løfter om nulltoleranse mot forbrytere) som Texas er et perfekt eksempel på … Nok et oppslukende, myldrende portrett av USAs typiske sørstater.” Sunday Times“Det er ingen tvil om at Grisham har fingeren på Amerikas puls.” Orlando Sentinel

EVERYONE HAS THEIR PRICE. A judge has been brutally murdered. His body is found in a remote lakeside cabin. There is no sign of forced entry or a struggle. Just two dead bodies - the judge and his secretary - and one state-of-the-art safe, opened and emptied. Ex-attorney Malcolm Bannister knows who killed the judge - and why. The FBI need to know his secrets. And Bannister is ready to talk. But there's a catch: he is currently serving a ten-year prison sentence. Bannister knows that everything has a price - and this racketeer wasn't born yesterday.??350+ million copies, 45 languages, 10 blockbuster films: JOHN GRISHAM IS THE MASTER OF THE LEGAL THRILLER?? Readers are raving about The Racketeer:'Genius' ? ? ? ? ? 'This story is utterly fantastic'? ? ? ? ? 'A cracker of a read'? ? ? ? ? 'A six star read with more twists and turns than Ariadne's Labyrinth'? ? ? ? ?

Given the importance of what they do, and the controversies that often surround them, and the violent people they sometimes confront, it is remarkable that in the history of the USA only four active federal judges have been murdered. Judge Raymond Fawcett just became number five. His body was found in the small basement of a lakeside cabin he had built himself and frequently used on weekends. When he did not show up for a trial on Monday morning, his law clerks panicked, called the FBI, and in due course the agents found the crime scene. There was no forced entry, no struggle, just two dead bodies - Judge Fawcett and his young secretary. I did not know Judge Fawcett, but I know who killed him, and why. I am a lawyer, and I am in prison. It's a long story.
