The Street Lawyer
Michael Brock is a man in a hurry. He's in the fast lane at Drake & Sweeney, a giant Washington law firm. He's a rising star, with no time to waste, no time to toss a few coins into the hands of beggars. No time for a conscience.
But a chance violent encounter with a homeless man stops him cold. The fallout propels him onto a trail of corruption and illegality which leads straight back to Drake & Sweeney. To get to the truth, Michael will have to dig deep into some of his own firm's dirtiest secrets...

A Time To Kill
THE MULTI-MILLION COPY BESTSELLER
John Grisham's first and most shocking novel, adapted as a film starring Samuel L. Jackson and Matthew McConaughey
When Carl Lee Hailey guns down the violent racists who raped his ten-year-old daughter, the people of the small town of Clanton, Mississippi see it as justice done, and call for his acquittal.
But when extremists outside Clanton - including the KKK - hear that a black man has killed two white men, they invade the town, determined to destroy anything and anyone that opposes their sense of justice. A national media circus descends on Clanton.
As tensions mount, Hailey hires the inexperienced Jake Brigance to defend him. It's the kind of case that could make a young lawyer's career.
But it's also the kind of case that could get a young lawyer killed.

Lacná kniha Spoločník (-50%)
Kyle McAvoy vyrastal v malomestskej právnickej kancelárii svojho otca v Yorku v štáte Pennsylvánia. Ako vynikajúceho študenta ho zvolili za šéfredaktora Yaleského právnického časopisu a čakala ho budúcnosť s neobmedzenými možnosťami.
Lenže Kyle v sebe nosí tajomstvo - epizódu zo študentských čias, na ktorú sa pokúša zabudnúť. To tajomstvo sa však dostane do pozornosti nesprávnych ľudí a Kyle je nútený nastúpiť na miesto, ktoré nechce, hoci o ňom väčšina absolventov práva môže iba snívať.
Tri mesiace po odchode z Yale sa Kyle stane pridruženým advokátom najväčšej právnickej firmy na svete. Je nútený klamať, kradnúť a zúčastniť sa na operácii, za ktorú mu hrozí väzenie i smrť.
Román zaľudňuje nezabudnuteľná škála postáv, či priam zloduchov. Je medzi nimi Baxter Tate – apanážou z kapitálových fondov rozmaznávaný narkoman a pravdepodobný aktér znásilnenia, ale aj Dale – atraktívna, no zdanlivo chladná niekdajšia učiteľka matematiky, ktorá sedí s Kyleom v jednej kancelárii. Román je plný zápletiek a dejových zvratov, vďaka ktorým sa Grisham stal najpopulárnejším rozprávačom na svete – túto jeho reputáciu plne potvrdzuje aj dielo ADVOKÁT.

The Summons
An intelligent, low-key thriller, The Summons continues John Grisham's exploration of the common decencies of a strain of American commercial story-telling in literature and film that we often link to the work of Frank Capra or O Henry. He is not afraid of parable or of setting up situations that are at once archetypal and attractively specific. This is a tale of two brothers--one is righteous, more or less, and one is not--and a question of their inheritance. Ancient Mississippi judge Atlee summons his two sons to his deathbed, but dies before he can explain himself, leaving Ray, who arrives on time unlike his drunkard brother Forest with the difficult problem of the three million dollars in used notes which are lying around the house in shoe-boxes. Ray worries about his father's posthumous reputation, about the Inland Revenue Service and about how quickly Forrest could drink himself to death with unlimited funds.

Painted House
The hill people and the Mexicans arrived on the same day. It was a Wednesday, early in September 1952. The Cardinals were five games behind the Dodgers with two weeks to go, and the season looked hopeless. The cotton, however, was waist high to my father, almost over my head, and he and my grandfather could be heard before supper whispering words that were seldom heard. It could be a good crop." Thus begins the new novel from John Grisham, a story inspired by his own childhood in rural Arkansas. The narrator is a farm boy named Luke Chandler, age seven, who lives in the cotton fields with his parents and grandparents in a little house that's never been painted. The Chandlers farm eighty acres that they rent, not own, and when the cotton is ready they hire a truckload of Mexicans and a family from the Ozarks to help harvest it. For six weeks, they pick cotton, battling the heat, the rain, the fatigue, and sometimes, each other. As the weeks pass Luke sees and hears things no seven year old could possibly be prepared for, and finds himself keeping secrets that not only threaten the crop but will change the lives of the Chandlers forever. "A Painted House" is a moving story of one boy's journey from innocence to experience."
