Framed
Ten wrongful conviction cases
Twenty-one innocent people
Framed tells ten stories with a truth more shocking than fiction
John Grisham, the master of the legal thriller, teams up with Jim McCloskey, who has dedicated his life to exonerating innocent people, to uncover stories that shine an astonishing light on miscarriages of justice. All the cases in this book are simply extraordinary. And all are true.
Joe Bryan suffered the unbearable tragedy of his wife's murder, only to be tried and found guilty of the crime himself - despite being 120 miles away at the time it was committed.
Clarence Brandley spent nine years on Death Row, coming to within six days of execution, before new evidence cleared him of all charges.
And in the case of the Norfolk Four, police and prosecutors continued to arrest innocent people until not one but four men were behind bars.
Impeccably researched and told with page-turning conviction, in Framed, these cases are finally laid bare.
Most importantly, they show how truth can prevail and how freedom can be won when all seems lost.

A váltságdíj
Tizenöt év telt el John Grisham A cég című regényében megírt történet után. Az akkor pályakezdő Mitch McDeere ma már New Yorkban él feleségével, Abbyvel, és egy ikerpár boldog szülei. Mitch üzlettárs egy nemzetközi ügyvédi irodánál, Abby pedig egy neves kiadó szerkesztője. A múltat már jó ideje lezárták, és a memphisi szörnyűségek minden következményétől megszabadultak.Mitchtől római kollégája azt kéri, hogy kapcsolódjon be egy évek óta folyó ügybe, így csöppen egy világméretű következményekkel járó összeesküvés középpontjába. Abby is belekeveredik, ráadásul olyan feladat hárul rá, amellyel nem biztos, hogy meg tud birkózni. Mitch bár mindig egy lépéssel ellenfelei előtt jár, úgy tűnik, ez most nem elég.A váltságdíj feszültséggel teli történet, amely nemcsak a szerzőtől már megszokott fordulatos meglepetésekkel szolgál, hanem utazásra viszi az olvasót Rómától és Londontól Isztambulon át Líbiáig és Marokkóig, egészen a Nagy-Kajmán-szigetig.

Camino Ghosts
Following John Grisham's international bestsellers, Camino Island and Camino Winds, Camino Ghosts is the story of an island off the Florida coast with a haunted, violent history and an uncertain future. Dark Isle is said to be cursed: drownings, disappearances and hauntings have been the fate of intruders. It was settled by freed slaves 300 years ago, and their descendants lived there until 1955, when the last one was forced to leave.
Now abandoned, it is the target of greedy developers. Lovely Jackson is the last survivor of Dark Isle and claims to be its legal owner. But there is not a shred of evidence to prove that is true.
It's unlikely that the developers will be deterred by the claims of one old woman. They have millions; Lovely only has Steven Mahon, a pro bono environmental lawyer, and Mercer Mann, a floundering novelist, to fight in her corner. With the court case looming and the bulldozers waiting to roll in, Steven and Mercer are in a race against time to unearth the truth behind Lovely's story and, together, save the legacy of the island.
