John Grisham

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - Once he was a well-liked, well-paid young partner in a thriving Mississippi law firm. Then he stole ninety million dollars from his own firm--and ran for his life. "One terrific book--smart, fast, stingingly satiric, and almost criminally entertaining."--Entertainment Weekly For four years Patrick Lanigan evaded men who were rich and powerful, and who would stop at nothing to find him. Then, inevitably, on the edge of the Brazilian jungle, they finally tracked him down. Now Patrick is coming home. And in the Mississippi city where it all began, an extraordinary trial is about to begin. As prosecutors circle like sharks, as Patrick's lawyer prepares his defense, as Patrick's lover prays for his deliverance and his former partners wait for their revenge, another story is about to emerge. Because Patrick Lanigan, the most reviled white-collar criminal of his time, knows something that no one else in the world knows. He knows the truth.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - "A dark and thoughtful tale pulsing with moral uncertainties . . . Grisham is at his best."--People In Chicago's top law firm, a young lawyer stands on the brink of a brilliant career. Now twenty-six-year-old Adam Hall is risking it all for a death-row killer and an impossible case: Sam Cayhall is a former Klansman and unrepentant racist facing the death penalty for a fatal bombing in 1967. Cayhall has run out of chances--except for one: a determined lawyer who just happens to be his grandson. While the executioners prepare the gas chamber, while the protesters gather, and while the TV cameras wait, Adam has only days, hours, minutes to save his client. For between the two men is a chasm of shame, family lies, and secrets--including the one secret that could save Sam Cayhall's life . . . or cost Adam his.

#1 WORLDWIDE BESTSELLER - The iconic legal thriller that launched the career of America's favorite storyteller, hailed as "an absolute master" (The Washington Post) " An] ingenious man-in-the-middle thriller."--Entertainment Weekly Mitch McDeere has worked hard to get where he is: third in his class at Harvard Law. Aggressively recruited by all the top firms, and initially headed for Wall Street, Mitch surprises everyone by joining Bendini, Lambert & Locke, a very private, very rich tax firm in Memphis. Mitch and his wife, Abby, move to Tennessee and quickly settle into their new life: they're young, happy, and on the fast track. Or so they think. Soon, though, Mitch senses trouble: two of the partners die in a suspicious diving accident off Grand Cayman; the firm's management is overly proud of the fact that no one has ever resigned; and security measures at the firm, even for a company with billionaire clients, are more than a little stringent. Then, suddenly, Mitch's vague suspicions come to life. The FBI has the lowdown on Mitch's firm and needs his help. Now Mitch is caught between a rock and a hard place. The FBI will bust him if he doesn't cooperate, and the firm will kill him if he does. There's no way out. Or is there? The story continues in The Exchange, the "breathtaking" (The Wall Street Journal) sequel to The Firm

It's summer in Memphis. The sweat is sticking to Rudy Baylor's shirt and creditors are nipping at his heels. Once he had aspirations of breezing through law school and punching his ticket to the good life. Now he doesn't have a job or a prayer...except for one: an insurance dispute that leaves a family devastated and opens the door for a lawsuit, if Rudy can find a way to file it. By the time Rudy gets to court, a heavyweight corporate defense team is there to meet him. And suddenly he's in over his head, plunged into a nightmare of lies and legal maneuverings. A case that started small is exploding into a thunderous million-dollar war of nerves, skill and outright violence--a fight that could cost one young lawyer his life, or turn him into the biggest rainmaker in the land....

In 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 its 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 isnt 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 hes 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 Grishams unparalleled storytelling powers in a whole new light. This is Grisham at the top of his game.

From #1 New York Times bestselling author John Grisham comes the harrowing true story of a Texas father condemned to die for a crime that never happened. 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 #1 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 our criminal justice system.

Called "a must-read for any serious student of Mississippi politics" by The Clarion-Ledger, Mississippi Politics quickly became the definitive work on the state’s recent political history, campaigns, legislative battles, and litigation, as well as the ways Mississippi both shaped and was shaped by national and regional trends. First published in 2006, this thoroughly revised third edition expands and updates the narrative from the 2008 presidential election through the mid-2020s. Authors Jere Nash and Andy Taggart add three new chapters and substantially revise every existing chapter, providing fresh analyses of statewide, legislative, and federal elections; leadership changes in both parties; and the shifting dynamics that continue to define Mississippi’s place in American politics. New coverage includes the Cochran-McDaniel Senate race; Cindy Hyde-Smith’s path to the US Senate; the Republican takeover of the legislature; and the campaigns of Mike Espy, Jim Hood, and Brandon Presley. It also examines such behind-the-scenes developments as the legalization of casino gaming, the state’s recovery from Hurricane Katrina, the building of the civil rights museum, the changing of the state flag, and Mississippi’s central role in the abortion debate that culminated in the overturning of Roe v. Wade. Drawing on more than 150 interviews conducted by the authors and a greatly expanded body of sources, this edition offers a comprehensive and up-to-date account of the people, events, and forces that have driven Mississippi politics over the past half-century.
