John Grisham

Det finnes en tid for å drepe og en tid for rettferdighet. Nå kommer Tid for nåde. Clanton, Mississippi. 1990. 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. I det som kanskje er John Grishams mest personlige og storartede thriller fra rettssystemet, blir vi enda bedre kjent med den ikoniske sørstatsbyen Clanton og de fargerike karakterene så mange lesere kjenner og elsker. Resultatet er en både tidsriktig og tidløs roman full av sjarm, drama og – mest av alt – hjertevarme. John Grisham (f. 1955) fikk sitt store gjennombrudd og berømmelse med The Firm (Firmaets mann). Han regnes som en av verdens største krimforfattere, med mer enn 350 millioner solgte bøker på verdensbasis. Gjennombr

The riveting sequel to THE FIRM, the blockbuster thriller that launched the career of the world's bestselling author.

Mehukkaan kiemuraisessa lakijännärissä lapsuudenystävistä tulee vihollisia.” John Grisham on tarinankertojana suunnilleen paras joka meillä on.” – The New York Times Book Review. Keith ja Hugh, kaksi 60-luvun poikaa joita yhdistää baseball ja kotipaikka Biloxi, satamakaupunki Mississippissä Meksikonlahden rannalla. Mitäpä siitä, että kaverusten isät kulkevat lain eri puolilla – Biloxi on nautinnonhaluisten lainkiertäjien keidas, jossa hyvä ja paha ovat aina punoutuneet mutkikkaasti yhteen. Keithin isä on kuuluisa lakimies, Hugh taas on paikallisen rikollispomon poika. Kohtalokas isku oikeustaloon vaatii jokaista valitsemaan puolensa, ja vuosien kuluttua vieraantuneilla ystävyksillä on edessään lopullinen suuri kohtaaminen. John Grishamin 47 peräkkäistä bestselleriä on käännetty liki 50 kielelle, uusimpina Tuomarin lista ja Aika armahtaa, josta HBO valmistelee sarjaa. Grisham on saanut Yhdysvaltain kongressin kirjallisuuspalkinnon ja kahdesti Harper Leen palkinnon lakiaiheisesta fiktiosta. Hän tutkii romaaneissaan usein oikeusjärjestelmän sisäisiä ongelmakohtia. Grisham asuu maatilalla Virginiassa.www.jgrisham.com.

#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.

Legenden John Grisham ønsker deg velkommen tilbake til Camino Island, der et drap midt i en voldsom orkan kan vise seg å være den perfekte forbrytelse ... Det blåser opp til orkan utenfor Floridas kyst, og det voldsomme uværet sikter rett mot Camino Island. Bokhandler Bruce Cable forbereder et besøk av bestselgerforfatter Mercer Mann, og tar sjansen på å bli værende på øya mens store deler av befolkningen evakuerer til fastlandet. Han blir vitne da orkanen treffer: Ødeleggelsene er enorme, veiene ufremkommelige, hjem ødelagt og flere mennesker mister livet. Et av ofrene er Nelson Kerr, thrillerforfatter og venn av Bruce. Nelsons skader kan tyde på at stormen ikke kan ha forårsaket hans død, men det lokale politiet er dårlig rustet til å håndtere saken i kjølvannet av uværet. Selv begynner Bruce å lure på om de lyssky karakterene i Nelsons romaner kan være mer ekte enn fiktive. På Nelsons PC ligger manuskriptet til hans nye roman. Kan nøkkelen til drapet ligge der? Vindene på Camino Islander både sjarmerende og spennende.
