John Grisham is back with his latest courtroom conundrum, The Street Lawyer.

John Grisham's novels have all been so systematically successful that it is easy to forget he is just one man toiling away silently with a pen, experimenting and improving with each book. While not as gifted a prose stylist as Scott Turow, Grisham is among the best plotters in the thriller business, and he infuses his books with a moral valence and creative vision that set them apart from their peers.

The Rainmaker
John Grisham / Unknown Binding / Published October 1999
Price: $15.70
Bestselling author John Grisham returns to the courtroom for the first time since A Time to Kill to weave this riveting tale of legal intrigue and corporate greed. Combining suspense, narrative momentum, and humor as only John Grisham can, The Rainmaker provides another spellbinding, thrill-a-minute read.

Chamber
John Grisham / Unknown Binding / Published October 1999
Price: $15.70 Special Order
It's a foregone conclusion that Grisham's latest novel will be a best-seller, but now that he doesn't have to worry about making money, he's apparently decided to flex his literary muscles with a tale of death-row inmate Sam Cayhall and his lawyer-grandson Adam Hall. Grisham's reputation as a writer of lawyer espionage novels is well known, but he is equally adept at fleshing out characters of the modern South. We begin in 1967, when Mississippian and Klan member Cayhall helps bomb a Jewish lawyer's office and mistakenly kills the attorney's two young sons. Two trials with all-white juries win...

The Pelican Brief
John Grisham / Unknown Binding / Published October 1999
Price: $15.70 - Ships in 2-3 days
Gripping legal suspenser by the author of last year's hallucinatory The Firm--and an even stronger performance than that still-current bestseller. Grisham also strikes gold with public awareness of the furor over the Supreme Court nomination of Judge Thomas. Where The Firm clamped into the reader's greed for the perks of a supersuccessful young lawyer in an almost fantasy law firm, Grisham's second is a tale that baits its own hooks with the lures of All the President's Men. That much of what happens here happens regularly in suspense novels (sudden stranglings and murders) in no way lessens t...

The Firm
John Grisham / Unknown Binding / Published October 1999
Price: $15.70 - Ships in 2-3 days
Hard to believe, but there was a time when the word "lawyer" wasn't synonymous with "criminal," and the idea of a law firm controlled by the Mafia was an outlandish proposition. This intelligent, ensnaring story came out of nowhere--Oxford, Mississippi, where Grisham was a small-town lawyer--and quickly catapulted to the top of the bestseller list, with good reason. Mitch McDeere, the appealing hero, is a poor kid whose only assets are a first-class mind, a Harvard law degree, and a beautiful, loving wife. When a Memphis law firm makes him an offer he really can't refuse, he trades his old Nis...

The Partner
John Grisham / Unknown Binding / Published October 1999
Price: $15.70 - Ships in 2-3 days
Your fearless reviewer is not the first person--the millionth, maybe, or billionth--to have stayed up much too late finishing John Grisham's new book, The Partner. It doth murder sleep, to paraphrase Shakespeare, and if that were a capital offense, Grisham would've fried long ago. His latest pre-movie concerns a Biloxi lawyer, Patrick Lanigan, who fakes his own death and, after watching his interment from a nearby tree (nice touch!), skips away to Brazil with a cool $90 million. But mountains of money don't disappear as easily as Biloxi lawyers do, and Lanigan is captured. What follows is a bl...

Ever wonder what happens in the jury room, where lawyers aren't heard and the judge is not welcome? Who controls a jury when the door is locked and the deliberations begin? In John Grisham's newest novel, readers will find out the answers to these questions. For, every jury has a leader--and the verdict belongs to that person.

Grisham's smart use of the suspense novel to explore questions of being and faith puts him squarely in the footsteps of DICKENS and GRAHAM GREENE. Sincere, exciting and tinged with wonder, this novel is going to sell like an angel, and deservedly so.

John Grisham, Enric Tremps (Translator) / Paperback / Published March 1999
(Publisher Out Of Stock)
John Grisham has become, in less than three years, America's most popular author. While The Firm first put him on bestseller lists across the country, and The Pelican Brief and The Client confirmed his status as the master of the legal thriller, it was A Time to Kill that launched his writing career. Originally published in a small print-run in 1989, and for years unavailable in hardcover, Doubleday is proud to publish a new trade hardcover edition of this gripping courtroom drama. Near the rural town of Clanton, Mississippi, little Tonya Hailey is br.

The Testament
John Grisham / Hardcover / Published March 1999
Price: $19.57 - Savings of: $8.38 (30%) - Ships in 24 hours
Troy Phelan, a 78-year-old eccentric and the 10th-richest man in America, is about to read his last will and testament, divvying up an estate worth $11 billion. Phelan's three ex-wives, their grasping spawn, a legion of lawyers, several psychiatrists, and a plethora of sound technicians wait breathlessly, all eyes glued to digital monitors as they watch the old man read his verdict. But Phelan shocks everyone with a bizarre, last-gasp attempt to redistribute the spoils, setting in motion a legal morality tale of a contested will, sin, and redemption.

The Testament [ABRIDGED]
John Grisham, Henry Leyva (Performer) / Audio Cassette / Published February 1999

Troy Phelan hates his greedy, spoiled children. The aging multibillionaire knows that they're circling like vultures as he waits to die. Phelan's surprising last will and testament names a heretofore unknown beneficiary--a missionary living deep in the wilds of Brazil. Nate O'Riley, a lawyer fresh from his fourth stay in rehab, is sent to find her. Along the way, he learns about God and himself, and he discovers that the dangers of alcohol pale in comparison with the perils of the jungle. This abridgment, though jumpy at times, flows smoothly thanks to actor Henry Leyva's polished performance....

The Testament [ABRIDGED]
John Grisham, et al / Audio CD / Published February 1999
Price: $23.96 - Savings of: $5.99 (20%) - Ships in 24 hours
Grisham's rather simplistic thrillers work well on audio, where a good performance can make his weaknesses--awkward prose, thin characters, and lifeless dialogue--less noticeable. Grisham's latest is no exception. The performance by Henry Leyva, who works mostly in the theater, turns this story of a dying billionaire, a down-and-out (but recovering) lawyer, and a beautiful young woman into a fairly entertaining way to spend an afternoon. As an audiobook this is fast-moving, energetically performed, and a good deal more satisfying than some of Grisham's money-makers. D.P. AudioFile, Portland, M...

A Time to Kill [UNABRIDGED]
John Grisham, Michael Beck (Narrator) / Audio Cassette / Published November 1998
Price: $39.96 - Savings of: $9.99 (20%) - Ships in 24 hours
With a chillingly calm, even delivery, Michael Beck, a regular Grisham reader (The Rainmaker, The Runaway Jury), turns the narrative of this disturbing tale of racism, ignorance, and brutality into an almost visceral experience. "Cobb strung a length of quarter inch ski rope over a limb ... he grabbed her and put the noose around her head." The story is frighteningly believable and expertly crafted around a horrible crime and the tragic consequences that follow. At times, Beck's character voices can be distracting, but his efforts are generally applied to good effect, adding another level of t...
