For a young lawyer on the make, it was an offer he couldn’t refuse: a position at a law firm where the bucks, billable hours, and benefits are over the top. It’s a dream job for an up-and-comer—if he can overlook the uneasy feeling he gets at the office. Then an FBI investigation plunges the straight and narrow attorney into a nightmare of terror and intrigue, with no choice but to pit his wits, ethics, and legal skills against the firm’s deadly secrets—if he hopes to stay alive…

Near the rural town of Clanton, Mississippi, little Tonya Hailey is brutally raped, beaten, and left for dead by two drunken and remorseless men. The rapists are almost immediately caught in a road side bar, where they have been bragging of their exploits. When the men appear in court days later, Tonya’s father Carl bursts out of the courthouse basement, and executes them with an assault rifle. Murder or executions? Justice or revenge? Carl trusts his life to only one man in town—local criminal lawyer Jake Brigance, who dreams of famous cases, headlines, and the big time. Jake is about to face the fight of his life, and he knows it. Not only is he up against Rufus Buckley—a tough, ambitious district attorney who realizes that a murder conviction could help him gain higher office—but he has a much bigger problem: the rapists are white, the judge is white—and Carl is black.

Pirmasis Johno Grishamo negrožinės literatūros kūrinys. Mažame miestelyje vykdomo tariamo teisingumo tyrimas, tapęs sensacingiausiu autoriaus iki šiol parašytu teisiniu trileriu. Oklahomos valstijoje rastas išžagintos dvidešimt vienerių padavėjos Debros Siu Karter lavonas. Penkerius metus vykęs nusikaltimo tyrimas buvo perniek. Dėl priežasčių, kurios niekada nepaaiškėjo, policija įtarimus pareiškė Ronui Viljamsonui ir jo draugui Denisui Fricui. Apkaltinus žmogžudyste, jiedu buvo suimti. Baudžiamoji byla buvo pagrįsta ne tiesioginiais įkalčiais, kurių iš tikrųjų nė nebuvo, bet klaidinamais teismo medicinos ekspertizės rezultatais, kalėjimo skundikų ir kitų nuteistųjų parodymais. Denisas Fricas pripažintas kaltu ir nuteistas kalėti iki gyvos galvos. Ronas Viljamsonas nuteistas mirties bausme. Tačiau istorija tuo nesibaigia...

Trys teisėjai, už nešvarius darbelius kalintys ne itin griežto režimo kalėjime, ir toliau nerimsta – laiškais šantažuoja pasiturinčius pagyvenusius vyriškius, slepiančius netradicinę seksualinę orientacija.

„Bylininkai“ – be galo įdomus, siautulingas romanas, kupinas ironijos ir satyros, nukreiptos į teisiniams procesams būdingus korupcinius susitarimus, apgaulingas manipuliacijas bei teatrališkus efektus. „Finlio & Figo“ partneriai – iš viso du – dažnai save vadina teisine „firma-butiku“. „Butikas“ asocijuojasi su tuo, kas prašmatnu, kas pasižymi išrankumu, kas klesti. Šiuo atveju nė vienas iš apibūdinimų netinka. Iš tiesų jie užsiima menkaverte veikla – dažniausiai aptarnauja norinčius greitai išsiskirti, sulaikytus kauštelėjusius vairuotojus, kartais tarpininkauja dėl žalos atlyginimo nukentėjusiems per autoavarijas. Aptriušusiame biure Čikagos pietvakariuose Oskaras Finlis su Voliu Figu kartu dirba daugiau nei dvidešimtį metų ir riejasi lyg seniai susituokusi pora, bet sugeba šiaip ne taip verstis ir daugmaž padoriai gyventi. Galų gale juos užgriūva pokyčiai. Tiksliau, atklupčioja. Deividas Zinkas, jaunas, bet jau perdegęs teisininkas, atsisako perspektyvios karjeros aukščiausios klasės firmoje, smarkiai nusigeria ir netikėtai sau pačiam atsiduria prie „butiko“ slenksčio. Dabar, išsiblaiviusiam ir susitaikiusiam su mintimi, kad įsiliejo į bedarbių gretas, jam tiks bet koks darbas – netgi pas „Finlį & Figą“. Į savo ratą priėmę naują bendradarbį, „F & F“ partneriai griebiasi labai rimtos bylos, žadančios turtus, bet tarytum nereikalaujančios rimto išmanymo. Originalus pavadinimas:  The Litigators

**“The best thriller writer alive.” – Ken Follett** *****John Grisham, #1 bestselling author and master of the legal thriller, sweeps you away to paradise for a little sun, sand, mystery, and mayhem.*  With  *Camino Winds* , America’s favorite storyteller offers the perfect escape. **Welcome back to Camino Island, where anything can happen—even a murder in the midst of a hurricane, which might prove to be the perfect crime . . .**  Just as Bruce Cable’s Bay Books is preparing for the return of bestselling author Mercer Mann, Hurricane Leo veers from its predicted course and heads straight for the island. Florida’s governor orders a mandatory evacuation, and most residents board up their houses and flee to the mainland, but Bruce decides to stay and ride out the storm.  The hurricane is devastating: homes and condos are leveled, hotels and storefronts ruined, streets flooded, and a dozen people lose their lives. One of the apparent victims is Nelson Kerr, a friend of Bruce’s and an author of thrillers. But the nature of Nelson’s injuries suggests that the storm wasn’t the cause of his death: He has suffered several suspicious blows to the head.  Who would want Nelson dead? The local police are overwhelmed in the aftermath of the storm and ill equipped to handle the case. Bruce begins to wonder if the shady characters in Nelson’s novels might be more real than fictional. And somewhere on Nelson’s computer is the manuscript of his new novel. Could the key to the case be right there—in black and white? As Bruce starts to investigate, what he discovers between the lines is more shocking than any of Nelson’s plot twists—and far more dangerous.    *Camino Winds*  is an irresistible romp and a perfectly thrilling beach read—# 1 bestselling author John Grisham at his beguiling best. **

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 stumbles on 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 and 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.

On the right side of the law. Sort of. Sebastian Rudd is not your typical street lawyer. He works out of a customized bulletproof van, complete with Wi-Fi, a bar, a small fridge, fine leather chairs, a hidden gun compartment, and a heavily armed driver. He has no firm, no partners, no associates, and only one employee, his driver, who’s also his bodyguard, law clerk, confidant, and golf caddy. He lives alone in a small but extremely safe penthouse apartment, and his primary piece of furniture is a vintage pool table. He drinks small-batch bourbon and carries a gun. Sebastian defends people other lawyers won’t go near: a drug-addled, tattooed kid rumored to be in a satanic cult, who is accused of molesting and murdering two little girls; a vicious crime lord on death row; a homeowner arrested for shooting at a SWAT team that mistakenly invaded his house.  Why these clients? Because he believes everyone is entitled to a fair trial, even if he, Sebastian, has to cheat to secure one. He hates injustice, doesn’t like insurance companies, banks, or big corporations; he distrusts all levels of government and laughs at the justice system’s notions of ethical behavior. Sebastian Rudd is one of John Grisham’s most colorful, outrageous, and vividly drawn characters yet. Gritty, witty, and impossible to put down, *Rogue Lawyer* showcases the master of the legal thriller at his very best. Read More

“In 1970, one of Mississippi’s more colorful weekly newspapers, “The Ford County Times,” went bankrupt. To the surprise and dismay of many, ownership was assumed by a 23 year-old college dropout, named Willie Traynor. The future of the paper looked grim until a young mother was brutally raped and murdered by a member of the notorious Padgitt family. Willie Traynor reported all the gruesome details, and his newspaper began to prosper. “The murderer, Danny Padgitt, was tried before a packed courthouse in Clanton, Mississippi. The trial came to a startling and dramatic end when the defendant threatened revenge against the jurors if they convicted him. Nevertheless, they found him guilty, and he was sentenced to life in prison.” But in Mississippi in 1970, “life” didn’t necessarily mean “life,” and nine years later Danny Padgitt managed to get himself paroled. He returned to Ford County, and the retribution began.

Ray reluctantly heads south, to his hometown, to the place where he grew up, which he prefers now to avoid. But the family meeting does not take place. The Judge dies too soon, and in doing so leaves behind a shocking secret known only to Ray. And perhaps someone else.
