The Runaway Jury

A Novel

De: John Grisham

Narrado por: 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.

“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

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,!
