Publisher's summary

In Biloxi, Mississippi, a landmark tobacco trial with hundreds of millions of dollars at stake begins routinely, then swerves mysteriously off course. The jury is behaving strangely, and at least one juror is convinced he's being watched. Soon they have to be sequestered. Then a tip from an anonymous young woman suggests she is able to predict the jurors' increasingly odd behavior. Is the jury somehow being manipulated, or even controlled? If so, by whom? And, more important, why?

Featured Article: The Essential John Grisham in Audio


John Grisham is best known for his fast-paced legal thrillers and mysteries, many of which have been adapted for television and film. Because he’s so prolific and has been writing for decades, it can be difficult to know where to begin when selecting a title from his impressive back catalog. And Grisham is definitely a jack-of-all-trades: he’s written not only legal thrillers, but nonfiction, a series for kids, some humorous novels, and recently, a new mystery series outside of the legal thriller genre. To help you decide which Grisham gem to download next, we’ve compiled a list of the very best.

Great listen

Loved the story. Read perfectly. Thoughtful, suspenseful, and believable. I can usually surmise the outcome of most books halfway through
but this one held my attention to the very end. Well worth a listen.

Loved every minute

Not a dull moment in the whole book. Grisham never disappoints. I have read all his books on audible, wish there were more.

First-rate Grisham; First-rate Muller

This is my favorite kind of Grisham: a combo of suspense and comic character sketches. Also a nice tension between Grisham's cynicism about the justice system and his belief that it can be made to work in spite of itself. Please do NOT confuse this shrewd, funny legal thriller with the ponderous and preachy Hollywood movie based on it.

Frank Muller, the reader, maybe best-known for his excellent work on the "Left Behind" series ("Vot sims to pe ze matta, Keptin Steele? You sim to pe... own-COM-for-ta-bal..."), is at his best here.

Good not his best

Very good book. Good movie. Movie goes with the book pretty good except for one minor detail. The suit is over different issues.

Really enjoyable and a bit unexpected

Great book by john Grisham. The story took some twists I was not expecting and made it more fun. The first few chapters are fairly slow but after that it picks up pace and intensity.
