The Appeal
Grisham John
Money can buy you
anything. Even a verdict...
In a crowded
courtroom in Mississippi, a jury returns a shocking guilty verdict against a
chemical company. Accused of dumping toxic waste into a small town's water
supply, causing the worst "cancer cluster" in history, the company
knows it's in trouble. Their only avenue is to appeal to the Mississippi
Supreme Court, whose nine justices will either approve the verdict or reverse
it.
But the
company's owner, Carl Trudeau, isn't willing to let justice be done. Instead,
he decides to try to purchase a seat on the Court. Through an intricate web of
conspiracy and deceit, his political operatives recruit a young, unsuspecting
candidate. They finance him, manipulate him, market him, and mould him into a potential
Supreme Court justice.
Their Supreme
Court justice.
And unless their
scheme is exposed, the polluters will make a clean escape...
‘A master at the
art of deft characterisation and the skilful delivery of hair-raising
crescendos' – Irish Independent
‘Masterful – when Grisham gets in the
courtroom he lets rip, drawing scenes so real they're not just alive, they're
pulsating’ – Mirror
‘A giant of the
thriller genre’ – TimeOut

Long before his
name became synonymous with the modern legal thriller, he was working 60-70
hours a week at a small Southaven, Mississippi, law practice, squeezing in time
before going to the office and during courtroom recesses to work on his
hobby—writing his first novel.
Since first
publishing „A Time to Kill“ in 1988, Grisham has written one novel a year (his
other books are „The Firm“, „The Pelican Brief“, „The Client“, „The Chamber“, „The
Rainmaker“, „The Runaway Jury“ etc. and all of them have become international
bestsellers. There are currently over 300 million John Grisham books in print
worldwide, which have been translated into 40 languages. Nine of his novels
have been turned into films.
