#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - Will an ancient curse darken the skies over Camino Island? Bruce Cable and Mercer Mann are about to find out. Look for John Grisham's forthcoming legal thriller, The Widow. This time, the verdict isn't the end of the story. Mercer Mann, a popular writer from Camino Island, is back on the beach, marrying her boyfriend, Thomas, in a seaside ceremony. Bruce Cable, infamous owner of Bay Books, performs the wedding. Afterward, Bruce tells Mercer that he has stumbled upon an incredible story. Mercer desperately needs an idea for her next novel, and Bruce now has one. The true story is about Dark Isle, a sliver of a barrier island not far off the North Florida coast. It was settled by freed slaves three hundred years ago, and their descendants lived there until 1955, when the last one was forced to leave. That last descendant is Lovely Jackson, elderly now, who loves her birthplace and its remarkable history. But now Tidal Breeze, a huge, ruthless corporate developer, wants to build a resort and casino on the island, which Lovely knows, deep down, is rightfully hers. Mercer befriends Lovely, and they plunge into an enormous fight over who owns Dark Isle, taking on Tidal Breeze Corporation, its lawyers, lobbyists, and powerful Florida politicians. But Lovely knows something about the island that could seriously cloud the dollar signs in the developer's eyes: the island is cursed. It has remained uninhabited for nearly a century for some very real and very troubling reasons. The deep secrets of the past are about to collide with the enormous ambitions of the present, and the fate of Dark Isle--and Camino Island, too--hangs in the balance.

LONGLISTED FOR THE ALCS GOLD DAGGER FOR NON-FICTION?? Ten wrongful conviction cases???? Twenty-one innocent people???? Framed tells ten stories with a truth more shocking than fiction?? John Grisham, the master of the legal thriller, teams up with Jim McCloskey, who has dedicated his life to exonerating innocent people, to uncover stories that shine an astonishing light on miscarriages of justice. All the cases in this book are simply extraordinary. And all are true. Joe Bryan suffered the unbearable tragedy of his wife's murder, only to be tried and found guilty of the crime himself - despite being 120 miles away at the time it was committed. Clarence Brandley spent nine years on Death Row, coming to within six days of execution, before new evidence cleared him of all charges. And in the case of the Norfolk Four, police and prosecutors continued to arrest innocent people until not one but four men were behind bars. Impeccably researched and told with page-turning conviction, in Framed, these cases are finally laid bare. Most importantly, they show how truth can prevail and how freedom can be won when all seems lost.'Each of these stories is told with astonishing power. They are packed with human drama, with acts of shocking villainy and breathtaking courage. But these are more than just gripping true stories - they are a clarion call for reforming the tragic flaws in our criminal justice system' David Grann, New York Times bestselling author of Killers of the Flower Moon

Jake Brigance dras inn i en opprivende rettsak da han blir oppnevnt som advokat for Drew Gamle, en sjenert, seksten år gammel gutt anklaget for å ha drept en lokal politimann. Mange i Clanton ønsker en rask rettsak og dødsstraff, men Brigance graver i saken og oppdager at det er mer til den enn man skulle tro. Han forplikter seg til å redde Drew fra gasskammeret, men risikerer både karrieren, økonomien og sin egen og familiens trygghet for å lykkes.
