The Runaway Jury

A Novel

By: John Grisham

Narrated by: Frank Muller

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • In “Grisham’s most addictive courtroom thriller” (The Seattle Times), justice is fighting for its life—and the jury is caught in the crossfire of greed and corruption.

They are at the center of a multimillion-dollar legal hurricane: twelve men and women who have been investigated, watched, manipulated, and harassed by high-priced lawyers and consultants who will stop at nothing to secure a verdict. Now the jury must make a decision in the most explosive civil trial of the century, a precedent-setting lawsuit against a giant tobacco company. But only a handful of people know the truth: that this jury has a leader, and the verdict belongs to him.

He is known only as Juror #2. But he has a name, a past, and he has planned his every move with the help of a beautiful woman on the outside. Now, while a corporate empire hangs in the balance, while a grieving family waits, and while lawyers are plunged into a battle for their careers, the truth about Juror #2 is about to explode.©1996 John Grisham; (P)1996 Bantam Doubleday Dell Audio Publishing, Bantam Doubleday Dell Audio Publishing, A Division of Random House Inc.

Critic reviews

“Grisham stacks his Jury with suspense. . . . Don’t start it unless you are prepared to stay up all night.”—Los Angeles Times

“Deserves to be a runaway success.”—The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

“A story of genuine significance . . . entertainingly unpredictable.”—The New York Times

“Marvelously clever . . . Grisham is one of the few writers who accurately and empathetically describes working-class Americans of all races and both sexes.”—USA Today

“Fascinating. . . Grisham does a solid job of cutting between the action in the courtroom. . . . [He] also gives a good primer on the psychology of juries.”—Chicago Tribune

“Grisham provides enough suspense to make the pages fly.”—St. Louis Post-Dispatch

“Grisham’s strength lies in his narrative ability. The story is tightly plotted, with several neat twists at the end.”—The Plain Dealer

“Both intellectually and emotionally satisfying . . . It’s a thriller for people who think.”—Publishers Weekly

Suspenseful from Beginning to End

I much preferred Runaway Jury to The Testament. The latter prominently featured spirituality and wasn't my cup of tea. But Runaway Jury is a gripping, well-told story of jury tampering from inside and out. The two adversaries in this story are both intelligent and corrupt, and one of them is armed with more cash than some countries' militaries. I enjoyed Runaway Jury and Frank Muller's narration.

Nothing but the Best!!!

Great story & narrator. None better than Grisham.
Would highly recommend this book to those who loves drama, action, humor & suspense,!

Basic John. Grisham
