Description

_______________________________________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'John Grisham is the master of legal fiction' – Jodi Picoult'The best thriller writer alive' – Ken Follett‘John Grisham has perfected the art of cooking up convincing, fast-paced thrillers’ – Telegraph ‘Grisham is a superb, instinctive storyteller’ – The Times‘Grisham's storytelling genius reminds us that when it comes to legal drama, the master is in a league of his own.’ – Daily Record‘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
