#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Two families. One courtroom showdown. • John Grisham’s most gripping thriller yet. • “A legal literary legend.” —USA Today John Grisham returns to Mississippi with the riveting story of two sons of immigrant families who grow up as friends, but ultimately find themselves on opposite sides of the law. Grisham’s trademark twists and turns will keep you tearing through the pages until the stunning conclusion. For most of the last hundred years, Biloxi was known for its beaches, resorts, and seafood industry. But it had a darker side. It was also notorious for corruption and vice, everything from gambling, prostitution, bootleg liquor, and drugs to contract killings. The vice was controlled by small cabal of mobsters, many of them rumored to be members of the Dixie Mafia. Keith Rudy and Hugh Malco grew up in Biloxi in the sixties and were childhood friends, as well as Little League all-stars. But as teenagers, their lives took them in different directions. Keith’s father became a legendary prosecutor, determined to “clean up the Coast.” Hugh’s father became the “Boss” of Biloxi’s criminal underground. Keith went to law school and followed in his father’s footsteps. Hugh preferred the nightlife and worked in his father’s clubs. The two families were headed for a showdown, one that would happen in a courtroom. Life itself hangs in the balance in The Boys from Biloxi, a sweeping saga rich with history and with a large cast of unforgettable characters.

Dos amigos de la infancia. Dos familias. Dos lados opuestos de la ley. Un apasionante thriller en el que el maestro Grisham lleva su relato a otro nivel, con personajes memorables y giros inesperados que te harán devorar las páginas hasta su asombroso final. Desde hace casi un siglo, Biloxi es conocida por sus playas, complejos turísticos e industria pesquera. Pero también tiene un lado oscuro. Esta ciudad de Mississippi es además famosa por el crimen y la corrupción: desde el juego, la prostitución y el contrabando hasta el narcotráfico y los asesinatos a manos de sicarios. Un pequeño grupo controla la actividad criminal y se rumorea que muchos de ellos son miembros de la mafia del sur, conocida como mafia Dixie. Keith Rudy y Hugh Malco, amigos de la infancia e hijos de familias inmigrantes, crecieron en Biloxi durante los años sesenta, hasta que en la adolescencia sus vidas siguieron direcciones diferentes. El padre de Keith se convirtió en un legendario fiscal decidido a «limpiar la costa». El de Hugh llegó a ser el jefe de la red criminal clandestina de Biloxi. Keith decidió estudiar Derecho y seguir los pasos de su padre. Hugh prefirió trabajar en los clubes nocturnos del suyo. Las dos familias se dirigen directas hacia un decisivo enfrentamiento, que tendrá lugar en un tribunal... y en la que la vida de todos estará en la cuerda floja. La crítica ha dicho... «John Grisham es uno de los mejores escritores que tenemos en Estados Unidos en estos momentos». The New York Times «Invita a compararla con la trilogía de El Padrino —recorre dos generaciones y variasdécadas de la posguerra—, y tiene además un variado conjunto de personajes y una energía irresistible». Sunday Times «Esta historia atraviesa medio siglo y acaba inevitablemente con un enfrentamiento en el tribunal. Una lectura reveladora, fascinante y moralmente compleja». Mail on Sunday «Como siempre, Grisham presenta increíbles giros inesperados a medida que el suspense se intensifica. Su excepcional forma de narrar deja al lector con ganas de que la novela no termine nunca. Grisham ha vendido más de trescientos millones de ejemplares y este libro es la prueba de cómo lo ha logrado». Daily Mail «Un thriller legal al que se une un fascinante enfrentamiento en los tribunales y que es además mucho más que eso. Una saga familiar y una exploración de la zona gris entre el bien absoluto y la maldad absoluta que a veces recuerda a una novela de Don Winslow. Grisham ha creado aquí algunos de sus personajes más memorables». Booklist «Grisham vuelve a dar en el clavo con un thriller que tiene un gran trasfondo humano». Peterborough Telegraph

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • 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, 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...

Books are leather-bound, signed and numbered, with printed endpapers, gold stamping, a slipcase, and a ribbon marker. New York Times bestselling author John Grisham takes you to a different kind of court in his first basketball novel. Samuel "Sooley" Sooleymon is a raw, young talent with big hoop dreams...and even bigger challenges off the court. In the summer of his seventeenth year, Samuel Sooleymon gets the chance of a lifetime: a trip to the United States with his South Sudanese teammates to play in a showcase basketball tournament. He has never been away from home, nor has he ever been on an airplane. The opportunity to be scouted by dozens of college coaches is a dream come true. Samuel is an amazing athlete, with speed, quickness, and an astonishing vertical leap. The rest of his game, though, needs work, and the American coaches are less than impressed. During the tournament, Samuel receives devastating news from home: A civil war is raging across South Sudan, and rebel troops have ransacked his village. His father is dead, his sister is missing, and his mother and two younger brothers are in a refugee camp. Samuel desperately wants to go home, but it's just not possible. Partly out of sympathy, the coach of North Carolina Central offers him a scholarship. Samuel moves to Durham, enrolls in classes, joins the team, and prepares to sit out his freshman season. There is plenty of more mature talent and he isn't immediately needed. But Samuel has something no other player has: a fierce determination to succeed so he can bring his family to America. He works tirelessly on his game, shooting baskets every morning at dawn by himself in the gym, and soon he's dominating everyone in practice. With the Central team losing and suffering injury after injury, Sooley, as he is nicknamed, is called off the bench. And the legend begins. But how far can Sooley take his team? And will success allow him to save his family? Gripping and moving, Sooley showcases John Grisham's unparalleled storytelling powers in a whole new light. This is Grisham at the top of his game.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • John Grisham is the acknowledged master of the legal thriller. In his first collection of novellas, law is a common thread, but America’s favorite storyteller has several surprises in store. “Homecoming” takes us back to Ford County, the fictional setting of many of John Grisham’s unforgettable stories. Jake Brigance is back, but he’s not in the courtroom. He’s called upon to help an old friend, Mack Stafford, a former lawyer in Clanton, who three years earlier became a local legend when he stole money from his clients, divorced his wife, filed for bankruptcy, and left his family in the middle of the night, never to be heard from again—until now. Now Mack is back, and he’s leaning on his old pals, Jake and Harry Rex, to help him return. His homecoming does not go as planned. In “Strawberry Moon,” we meet Cody Wallace, a young death row inmate only three hours away from execution. His lawyers can’t save him, the courts slam the door, and the governor says no to a last-minute request for clemency. As the clock winds down, Cody has one final request. The “Sparring Partners” are the Malloy brothers, Kirk and Rusty, two successful young lawyers who inherited a once prosperous firm when its founder, their father, was sent to prison. Kirk and Rusty loathe each other, and speak to each other only when necessary. As the firm disintegrates, the resulting fiasco falls into the lap of Diantha Bradshaw, the only person the partners trust. Can she save the Malloys, or does she take a stand for the first time in her career and try to save herself? By turns suspenseful, hilarious, powerful, and moving, these are three of the greatest stories John Grisham has ever told. Don’t miss John Grisham’s new book, THE EXCHANGE: AFTER THE FIRM!

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Every jury has a leader, and the verdict belongs to them. 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 in a cross fire of greed and corruption—and with justice fighting for its life.
