The Runaway Jury

John Grisham

From Shelf: Mystery and Thriller Books

John Grisham returns to the legal world and weaves a gripping tale of intrigue and power play, combining taut suspense and high drama. Previous titles by the author include 'The Rainmaker', 'The Chamber', 'The Firm', 'The Client', and 'The Pelican Brief'.

When justice is for sale, every jury has a price. In Biloxi, Mississippi, a landmark trial begins. There are hundreds of millions of dollars at stake and soon it swerves mysteriously off course. The jury is behaving strangely, and at least one juror is convinced he's being watched. Soon they have to be sequestered. Then a tip from an anonymous young woman suggests she is able to predict the jurors' increasingly odd behaviour. Is the jury somehow being manipulated, or even controlled? If so, by whom? And, more importantly, why?
