Den avtroppende presidenten benåder overraskende børsmegleren Joel Backman, som forvekslet den amerikanske drømmen med grådighet, og dermed måtte tilbringe seks år bak lås og slå. Det er ingen vet er at presidenten handler under sterkt press fra CIA, som mener at Backman i sine glansdager skaffet seg innblikk i hemmeligheter som kan avsløre verdens mest avanserte satelittovervåkningssystem. Backman blir smuglet ut av landet og får en ny identitet i Italia. Etter hvert lekker CIA hvor han er til israelerne, kinserne og saudiaraberne. Så lener de seg tilbake og ser hva som skjer. Det de gjerne vil ha svar på, er hvem som kommer til å ta livet av ham.

Jännityskirjailijan uusi aluevaltaus! Eletään vuoden 1952 syksyä Yhdysvaltain Arkansasin Black Oakissa. Seitsenvuotias Luke Chandler asuu vanhempineen ja isovanhempineen puuvillapellon laidalla auringon haalistamassa, maalaamattomassa talorähjässä. Sadon kypsyessä Chandlerit palkkaavat kuorma-autollisen väkeä avukseen kuuden viikon uuvuttavaan taisteluun puuvillapelloilla. Meksikosta ja vuorilta tulleiden sadonkorjaajien välinen yhteentörmäys on väistämätön ja seurauksiltaan kohtalokas. Lapsilta kiellettyjen näkyjen todistajana Luke huomaa pian säilyttävänsä salaisuuksia, jotka eivät uhkaa ainoastaan elintärkeää satoa vaan myös perheen loppuelämän kulkua. Lapsuuden talo on karun maalaiselämän kuvaus Korean sodan vuosilta; elämää suurempien baseball-otteluiden ja kohisevien putkiradioiden aikakaudelta. "Kirja on lapsuudenmuistojeni inspiroimaa mielikuvituksen tuotetta." John Grisham
High school all-American Neely Crenshaw was probably the best quarterback ever to play for the legendary Messina Spartans. Fifteen years have gone by since those glory days, and Neely has come home to Messina to bury Coach Eddie Rake, the man who molded the Spartans into an unbeatable football dynasty. Now, as Coach Rake's "boys" sit in the bleachers waiting for the dimming field lights to signal his passing, they replay the old games, relive the old glories, and try to decide once and for all whether they love Eddie Rake - or hate him. For Neely Crenshaw, a man who must finally forgive his coach - and himself - before he can get on with his life, the stakes are especially high. JOHN GRISHAM played (at times) quarterback for the Chargers of Southaven High School, Southaven, Mississippi. He was not an All-American.

The Office of the Public Defender is not known as a training ground for bright young litigators. Clay Carter has been there too long and, like most of his colleagues, dreams of a better job in a real firm. When he reluctantly takes the case of a young man charged with a random street killing, he assumes it is just another of the many senseless murders that hit D. C. every week. As he digs into the background of his client, Clay gets wrapped up in a conspiracy too horrible to believe. He suddenly finds himself in the middle of a complex case against one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world, looking at the kind of enormous settlement that would totally change his life--that would make him, almost overnight, the legal profession's newest king of torts.

They call themselves the Brethren: three disgraced former judges doing time in a Florida federal prison. One was sent up for tax evasion. Another, for skimming bingo profits. And the third, for a career-ending drunken joyride. Meeting daily in the prison law library, taking exercise walks in their boxer shorts, these judges-turned-felons can reminisce about old court cases, dispense a little jailhouse justice, and contemplate where their lives went wrong.
