John Grisham

En gammel sak ser dagens lys når mesteren John Grisham tar oss med tilbake til Florida, der Lacy Stoltz fra Varsleren må avsløre en dommers brutale og mørke hemmeligheter. Står navnet hennes allerede på dommerens liste? Lacy Stoltz etterforsker klager mot dommere i Florida. Nå blir hun oppsøkt av en mystisk kvinne som kommer med grove anklager mot en sittende dommer. Hun påstår å ha bevis for at dommeren har begått flere drap, der faren hennes som døde for mer enn tjue år siden, var ett av ofrene. Både Lucy og kvinnen vet imidlertid at mannen de skal prøve å avsløre, er smart, tålmodig, og han har enorm makt. Dommeren fører dessuten en liste over folk han har drept, og en liste med nye ofre.«En av året beste bøker (...) i verdensklasse, verdt å holde seg opp hele natta for å lese ferdig.» The Wall Street Journal«Grishams bøker er smarte, oppfinnsomme, morsomme, og fulle av komplekse og interessante mennesker.» The Washington Post

Following John Grisham's international bestsellers, Camino Island and Camino Winds, Camino Ghosts is the story of an island off the Florida coast with a haunted, violent history and an uncertain future. Dark Isle is said to be cursed: drownings, disappearances and hauntings have been the fate of intruders. It was settled by freed slaves 300 years ago, and their descendants lived there until 1955, when the last one was forced to leave. Now abandoned, it is the target of greedy developers. Lovely Jackson is the last survivor of Dark Isle and claims to be its legal owner. But there is not a shred of evidence to prove that is true. It's unlikely that the developers will be deterred by the claims of one old woman. They have millions; Lovely only has Steven Mahon, a pro bono environmental lawyer, and Mercer Mann, a floundering novelist, to fight in her corner. With the court case looming and the bulldozers waiting to roll in, Steven and Mercer are in a race against time to unearth the truth behind Lovely's story and, together, save the legacy of the island.

Barndomsvännerna Keith och Hugh växte upp tillsammans i 60-talets Biloxi, det korrupta semesterparadiset i Mississippi dominerat av den så kallade Dixiemaffian. Det var innan deras liv tog vitt skilda riktningar och de skulle mötas i rättssalen, på olika sidor av lagen. ”Pojkarna från Biloxi” är en nervkittlande thriller i sann Grisham-anda, en berättelse om vänskap, identitet och spel, med livet som insats.

John Grishami uus kõrgelennuline rahvusvahelise haardega juriidiline põnevik toob viisteist aastat pärast "Firma" ilmumist taas lugejate ette romaani paeluva peategelase Mitch McDeere'i. Mis sai Mitch ja Abby McDeere'ist pärast seda, kui nad paljastasid Memphise õigusbüroo Bendini, Lambert & Locke kuriteod ja olid sunnitud riigist põgenema? Sellele leiavad lugejad vastuse romaanist "Vahetus". Teie ees on järg trillerile "Firma", mis pani aluse ühe Ameerika populaarseima kirjaniku karjäärile. Viisteist aastat hiljem elavad Mitch and Abby Manhattanil, kus Mitch on ühe maailma suurima advokaadifirma partner. Kui Mitchi Rooma kolleeg ja mentor temalt üht teenet palub, viib see Mitchi kodust kaugele - Euroopasse ja Põhja-Aafrikasse. Mitch satub otsejoones ühe väga kurjakuulutava ja ülemaailmsete tagajärgedega vandenõu keskmesse. Mitchi uus seiklus seab järjekordselt ohtu tema kolleegid, sõbrad ja pereliikmed. Kuigi Mitchil on alati õnnestunud oma vastasest üks samm ees olla, ei ole tal seekord end kusagil varjata ega ka olukorda kontrollida, sest seda mängu ei juhi tema.

Mitch McDeere er nyuddannet fra Harvard med fornem juraeksamen og bliver tilbudt et højtlønnet job i et advokatfirma i Memphis. Kort efter ansættelsen bliver han dog kontaktet af FBI, der fortæller, at firmaet i virkeligheden er et skalkeskjul for mafiaen, og at FBI vil have ham til at afsløre firmaets lyssky aktiviteter.

To drenge vokser op som bedste venner i Biloxi, der i 1960’erne er et mini-Las Vegas midt i USA’s bibelbælte. Den ene af drengene overtager sin fars forretningsimperium med spillebuler, stripteaseklubber og prostitution. Den anden følger ligeledes i sin fars fodspor og forsøger at sætte en stopper for kriminaliteten og korruptionen i Biloxi. Det ender i et uundgåeligt opgør mellem de to barndomsvenner.

Under en rejse til Mellemøsten bliver Mitch McDeeres kollega bortført og livvagterne bestialsk myrdet. Mitch får til opgave at få gidslet fri. Men hvordan forhandler man med kidnappere, når man ikke ved, hvem de er og ikke kan kontakte dem? Og hvordan får man hjælp fra regeringer, der har en officiel politik om, at de aldrig forhandler med gidseltagere? Mitch McDeere fra Firmaets mand, der blev filmatiseret med Tom Cruise i hovedrollen, er tilbage i denne internationale thriller.

In his first work of nonfiction since The Innocent Man, #1 bestselling author John Grisham and Centurion Ministries Founder Jim McCloskey share ten harrowing true stories of wrongful convictions. Impeccably researched and grippingly told, Framed offers an inside look at the victims of the United States criminal justice system

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - In John Grisham's first work of nonfiction since The Innocent Man, "the master of the legal thriller" (Associated Press) teams up with Jim McCloskey, "the godfather of the innocence movement" (Texas Monthly), to share ten harrowing true stories of wrongful convictions. "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, author of Killers of the Flower Moon John Grisham is known worldwide for his bestselling novels, but it's his real-life passion for justice that led to his work with Jim McCloskey of Centurion Ministries, the first organization dedicated to exonerating innocent people who have been wrongly convicted. Together they offer an inside look at the many injustices in our criminal justice system. A fundamental principle of our legal system is a presumption of innocence, but once someone has been found guilty, there is very little room to prove doubt. These ten true stories shed light on Americans who were innocent but found guilty and forced to sacrifice friends, families, and decades of their lives to prison while the guilty parties remained free. In each of the stories, John Grisham and Jim McCloskey recount the dramatic hard-fought battles for exoneration. They take a close look at what leads to wrongful convictions in the first place and the racism, misconduct, flawed testimony, and corruption in the court system that can make them so hard to reverse. Impeccably researched and told with page-turning suspense as only John Grisham can deliver, Framed is the story of winning freedom when the battle already seems lost and the deck is stacked against you. * This audiobook edition is accompanied by a downloadable PDF which includes A Note on Sources and Acknowledgments from the book.
