Mark, Todd, and Zola came to law school to change the world, to make it a better place. But now, as third-year students, these close friends realize they have been duped. They all borrowed heavily to attend a third-tier for-profit law school so mediocre that its graduates rarely pass the bar exam, let alone get good jobs. And when they learn that their school is one of a chain owned by a shady New York hedge-fund operator who also happens to own a bank specializing in student loans, the three know they have been caught up in The Great Law School Scam. But maybe there’s a way out. Maybe there’s a way to escape their crushing debt, expose the bank and the scam, and make a few bucks in the process. But to do so, they would first have to quit school. And leaving law school a few short months before graduation would be completely crazy, right? Well, yes and no... Pull up a stool, grab a cold one, and get ready to spend some time at The Rooster Bar.

Джейк Бриганс, героят от „Време да убиваш“ и „Сянката на чинара“, отново е в центъра на разтърсваща съдебна драма. Клантън, щата Мисисипи, 1990 г. Съдът назначава Джейк за служебен защитник на шестнайсетгодишния Дрю, обвинен в убийството на Стюарт Коуфър, местен помощник-шериф и партньор на майка му. Животът в неговата къща е белязан от скандали, насилие и страх. Една нощ нещата стигат твърде далече — след дълъг запой побойникът пребива майката на момчето. Дрю грабва служебния пистолет на Стюарт и сам раздава правосъдие. В южняшкото градче убиецът на служител на закона и неговият адвокат стават прицел на всеобща омраза. Повечето жители на Клантън искат бърз процес и смъртно наказание за Дрю. Но Джейк е твърдо решен да спаси момчето от газовата камера. Въпреки че така застрашава семейството си, кариерата си и дори собствения си живот.

Адвокат Джейк Брайгенс снова в игре – против жестокой судебной системы, неумолимых коллег и предвзятого общества. Будучи вынужден взяться за дело Дрю Гэмбла – робкого шестнадцатилетнего парня, застрелившего помощника шерифа, Джейк должен выбирать между благополучием и безопасностью собственной семьи и помощью людям, оказавшимся на грани отчаяния. Что скрывается за очевидным на первый взгляд преступлением? Как переубедить местных жителей, требующих скорейшего суда и смертной казни? И получится ли найти лазейку в законе, чтобы спасти жизнь человека?

Себастьян Руд захищає людей, до яких інші адвокати і близько не підійшли б: підлітка-наркомана, огидного кримінального авторитета, засудженого до смертної кари; домовласника, заарештованого за стрілянину по спецпризначенцях. Чому такі клієнти? Бо він вірить, що кожен має право на справедливе судочинство, навіть якщо йому доведеться трохи змахлювати. Він ненавидить несправедливість, йому не подобаються страхові компанії, банки чи великі корпорації; він не довіряє усім щаблям влади і кепкує з концепцій системи щодо етичної поведінки.

Себастиан Радд — необычный адвокат. Его офис — пуленепробиваемый фургон c бесперебойным доступом к Интернету, шикарным баром, дорогими кожаными креслами и тайником, где хранится оружие. Его единственный помощник и единственный друг — вооруженный до зубов водитель, которому часто приходится перевоплощаться в телохранителя. И именно Себастиан Радд берется за дела, от которых отказываются все. Он не доверяет власти, страховым компаниям, крупным корпорациям и не питает уважения к судебным этическим нормам. Однако если надо вытащить из тюрьмы невиновного, будь то нищий неудачник, которого обвиняют в убийстве, попавший в беду старик, выстреливший в ворвавшихся к нему в дом полицейских, или даже криминальный авторитет, он всегда готов кинуться в бой. Потому что каждый имеет право на справедливый вердикт, считает он. И ради этого он готов идти до конца, даже если придется играть вне правил!..

**“The best thriller writer alive.” – Ken Follett** *****John Grisham, #1 bestselling author and master of the legal thriller, sweeps you away to paradise for a little sun, sand, mystery, and mayhem.*  With  *Camino Winds* , America’s favorite storyteller offers the perfect escape. **Welcome back to Camino Island, where anything can happen—even a murder in the midst of a hurricane, which might prove to be the perfect crime . . .**  Just as Bruce Cable’s Bay Books is preparing for the return of bestselling author Mercer Mann, Hurricane Leo veers from its predicted course and heads straight for the island. Florida’s governor orders a mandatory evacuation, and most residents board up their houses and flee to the mainland, but Bruce decides to stay and ride out the storm.  The hurricane is devastating: homes and condos are leveled, hotels and storefronts ruined, streets flooded, and a dozen people lose their lives. One of the apparent victims is Nelson Kerr, a friend of Bruce’s and an author of thrillers. But the nature of Nelson’s injuries suggests that the storm wasn’t the cause of his death: He has suffered several suspicious blows to the head.  Who would want Nelson dead? The local police are overwhelmed in the aftermath of the storm and ill equipped to handle the case. Bruce begins to wonder if the shady characters in Nelson’s novels might be more real than fictional. And somewhere on Nelson’s computer is the manuscript of his new novel. Could the key to the case be right there—in black and white? As Bruce starts to investigate, what he discovers between the lines is more shocking than any of Nelson’s plot twists—and far more dangerous.    *Camino Winds*  is an irresistible romp and a perfectly thrilling beach read—# 1 bestselling author John Grisham at his beguiling best. **

Младият адвокат Кийт Русо е застрелян в кантората си в градчето Сийбрук, Флорида. Убиецът не оставя следи, няма заподозрени, липсва и мотив за престъплението. Полицията обаче скоро арестува чернокожия Куинси Милър, бивш клиент на Русо. Куинси е осъден на доживотен затвор въз основа на фалшиви доказателства. След повече от две десетилетия зад решетките той пише на „Пазители на справедливостта“ — малка организация с идеална цел, ръководена от адвоката Кълън Поуст, която поема случаи като неговия. Там се получават много писма, чиито податели се кълнат, че са невинни, но повечето не са. Затова Поуст и колегите му правят дълги проучвания, а после водят още по-дълги дела. За десет години те са издействали свободата на осем души. Но в случая с Куинси играта загрубява. Кийт Русо е ликвидиран от безмилостни хора, които не желаят истината да бъде разкрита. Убили са адвокат преди двайсет и три години и са готови да убият още един, без да се поколебаят.

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 three weeks to go, and the season looked hopeless. The cotton, however, was waist-high to my father, 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.

„Bylininkai“ – be galo įdomus, siautulingas romanas, kupinas ironijos ir satyros, nukreiptos į teisiniams procesams būdingus korupcinius susitarimus, apgaulingas manipuliacijas bei teatrališkus efektus. „Finlio & Figo“ partneriai – iš viso du – dažnai save vadina teisine „firma-butiku“. „Butikas“ asocijuojasi su tuo, kas prašmatnu, kas pasižymi išrankumu, kas klesti. Šiuo atveju nė vienas iš apibūdinimų netinka. Iš tiesų jie užsiima menkaverte veikla – dažniausiai aptarnauja norinčius greitai išsiskirti, sulaikytus kauštelėjusius vairuotojus, kartais tarpininkauja dėl žalos atlyginimo nukentėjusiems per autoavarijas. Aptriušusiame biure Čikagos pietvakariuose Oskaras Finlis su Voliu Figu kartu dirba daugiau nei dvidešimtį metų ir riejasi lyg seniai susituokusi pora, bet sugeba šiaip ne taip verstis ir daugmaž padoriai gyventi. Galų gale juos užgriūva pokyčiai. Tiksliau, atklupčioja. Deividas Zinkas, jaunas, bet jau perdegęs teisininkas, atsisako perspektyvios karjeros aukščiausios klasės firmoje, smarkiai nusigeria ir netikėtai sau pačiam atsiduria prie „butiko“ slenksčio. Dabar, išsiblaiviusiam ir susitaikiusiam su mintimi, kad įsiliejo į bedarbių gretas, jam tiks bet koks darbas – netgi pas „Finlį & Figą“. Į savo ratą priėmę naują bendradarbį, „F & F“ partneriai griebiasi labai rimtos bylos, žadančios turtus, bet tarytum nereikalaujančios rimto išmanymo. Originalus pavadinimas:  The Litigators

In his first collection of short stories John Grisham takes us back to Ford County, Mississippi, the setting of his first novel, A Time to Kill. Wheelchair-bound Inez Graney and her two older sons, Leon and Butch, take a bizarre road trip through the Mississippi Delta to visit the youngest Graney brother, Raymond, who’s been locked away on death row for eleven years. It could well be their last visit. Mack Stafford, a hard-drinking and low-grossing run-of-the-mill divorce lawyer gets a miracle phone call with a completely unexpected offer to settle some old, forgotten cases for more money than he has ever seen. Mack is suddenly bored with the law, fed up with his wife and his life, and makes drastic plans to finally escape. Quiet, dull Sidney, a data collector for an insurance company, perfects his blackjack skills in hopes of bringing down the casino empire of Clanton’s most ambitious hustler, Bobby Carl Leach, who, among other crimes, has stolen Sidney’s wife. Three good ol’ boys from rural Ford County begin a journey to the big city of Memphis to give blood to a grievously injured friend. However, they are unable to drive past a beer store as the trip takes longer and longer. The journey comes to an abrupt end when they make a fateful stop at a Memphis strip club. The Quiet Haven Retirement Home is the final stop for the elderly of Clanton. It’s a sad, languid place with little controversy, until Gilbert arrives. Posing as a lowly paid bedpan boy, he is in reality a brilliant stalker with an uncanny ability to sniff out the assets of those “seniors” he professes to love. One of the hazards of litigating against people in a small town is that one day, long after the trial, you will probably come face-to-face with someone you’ve beaten in a lawsuit. Lawyer Stanley Wade bumps into an old adversary, a man with a long memory, and the encounter becomes a violent ordeal. Clanton is rocked with the rumor that the gay son of a prominent family has finally come home, to die. Of AIDS. Fear permeates the town as gossip runs unabated. But in Lowtown, the colored section of Clanton, the young man finds a soul mate in his final days. Featuring a cast of characters you’ll never forget, these stories bring Ford County to vivid and colorful life. Often hilarious, frequently moving, and always entertaining, this collection makes it abundantly clear why John Grisham is our most popular storyteller.

They watched Danilo Silva for days before they finally grabbed him. He was living alone, a quiet life on a shady street in Brazil; a simple life in a modest home, certainly not one of luxury. Certainly no evidence of the fortune they thought he had stolen. He was much thinner and his face had been altered. He spoke a different language, and spoke it very well. But Danilo had a past with many chapters. Four years earlier he had been Patrick Lanigan, a young partner in a prominent Biloxi law firm. He had a pretty wife, a new daughter, and a bright future. Then one cold winter night Patrick was trapped in a burning car and died a horrible death. When he was buried his casket held nothing more than his ashes. From a short distance away, Patrick watched his own burial. Then he fled. Six weeks later, a fortune was stolen from his ex-law firm’s offshore account. And Patrick fled some more. But they found him.

Rick Dockery was the third-string quarterback for the Cleveland Browns. In the AFC Championship game against Denver, to the surprise and dismay of virtually everyone, Rick actually got into the game. With a 17-point lead and just minutes to go, Rick provided what was arguably the worst single performance in the history of the NFL. Overnight, he became a national laughingstock and, of course, was immediately cut by the Browns and shunned by all other teams. But all Rick knows is football, and he insists that his agent, Arnie, find a team that needs him. Against enormous odds Arnie finally locates just such a team and informs Rick that, miraculously, he can in fact now be a starting quarterback. Great, says Rick — for which team? The mighty Panthers of Parma, Italy. Yes, Italians do play American football, to one degree or another, and the Parma Panthers desperately want a former NFL player — any former NFL player — at their helm. So Rick reluctantly agrees to play for the Panthers — at least until a better offer comes along — and heads off to Italy. He knows nothing about Parma — not even where it is — has never been to Europe, and doesn’t speak or understand a word of Italian. To say that Italy — the land of opera, fine wines, extremely small cars, romance, and Football Americano — holds a few surprises for Rick Dockery would be something of an understatement.

Pirmasis Johno Grishamo negrožinės literatūros kūrinys. Mažame miestelyje vykdomo tariamo teisingumo tyrimas, tapęs sensacingiausiu autoriaus iki šiol parašytu teisiniu trileriu. Oklahomos valstijoje rastas išžagintos dvidešimt vienerių padavėjos Debros Siu Karter lavonas. Penkerius metus vykęs nusikaltimo tyrimas buvo perniek. Dėl priežasčių, kurios niekada nepaaiškėjo, policija įtarimus pareiškė Ronui Viljamsonui ir jo draugui Denisui Fricui. Apkaltinus žmogžudyste, jiedu buvo suimti. Baudžiamoji byla buvo pagrįsta ne tiesioginiais įkalčiais, kurių iš tikrųjų nė nebuvo, bet klaidinamais teismo medicinos ekspertizės rezultatais, kalėjimo skundikų ir kitų nuteistųjų parodymais. Denisas Fricas pripažintas kaltu ir nuteistas kalėti iki gyvos galvos. Ronas Viljamsonas nuteistas mirties bausme. Tačiau istorija tuo nesibaigia... Originalo pavadinimas - [The Innocent Man]()

Преди три години Лейси е разобличила корумпиран магистрат — това е единственият интересен случай в нейната монотонна работа. И точно когато е готова да напусне, към нея се обръща жена, която се представя под различни псевдоними, защото се страхува за живота си. Нейният баща е убит преди повече от двайсет години, а извършителят не е разкрит. Тя обаче подозира кой е той и не е спирала да го следи. Открила е и още негови жертви.

Ще успее ли Лейси да го залови, преди да влезе в този списък?

Clay Carter has been there too long and, like most of his colleagues, dreams of a better job in a real firm.

But even a future star lawyer like Theo has to deal with statewide standardized testing. When an anonymous tip leads the school board to investigate a suspicious increase in scores at another local middle school, Theo finds himself thrust in the middle of a cheating scandal.

In The Whistler, Lacy Stoltz investigated a corrupt judge who was taking millions in bribes from a crime syndicate. She put the criminals away, but only after being attacked and nearly killed. Three years later, and approaching forty, she is tired of her work for the Florida Board on Judicial Conduct and ready for a change. Then she meets a mysterious woman who is so frightened she uses a number of aliases. Jeri Crosby’s father was murdered twenty years earlier in a case that remains unsolved and that has grown stone cold. But Jeri has a suspect whom she has become obsessed with and has stalked for two decades. Along the way, she has discovered other victims. Suspicions are easy enough, but proof seems impossible. The man is brilliant, patient, and always one step ahead of law enforcement. He is the most cunning of all serial killers. He knows forensics, police procedure, and most important: he knows the law. He is a judge, in Florida — under Lacy’s jurisdiction. He has a list, with the names of his victims and targets, all unsuspecting people unlucky enough to have crossed his path and wronged him in some way. How can Lacy pursue him, without becoming the next name on his list? The Judge’s List is by any measure John Grisham’s most surprising, chilling novel yet.

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?
