Every jury has a leader, and the verdict belongs to him. In Biloxi, Mississippi, a landmark tobacco trial with hundreds of millions of dollars at stake begins routinely, then 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?

Brenda Young

One of Grisham's finest legal battles of wit and manipulation.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 October 2018

Verified Purchase

Being from a society in which Juries are picked at random from electoral roles, it comes as a shock to learn of the intensive scrutiny to which potential jurors in America are subjected, lawfully, before being selected for a massive “shortlist” from which the final twelve, plus extras, will be chosen.

A conglomerate of giant Tobacco Manufacturers is determined that one of their number, being sued for damages by a middle-aged woman, widowed, she claims, through her late husband’s lethal tobacco addiction, is found ‘not guilty’ - otherwise they all fall together. Thus the stakes are not only higher than usual, but readily available, and liberally provided.

Notwithstanding Judge Hardin’s daily reminders of the jury’s obligations to talk to no one about the trial, several of them are being subjected to some form of blackmail or bribery. Where money is no object, and in the belief that “every man has his price”, finding weak points and playing on them, is a walkover.

However, not all interested parties are without opposing ambitions. Some cannot be bought, and some are cunning enough and manipulative enough to stay one step ahead of our known villains.

Up there with the best of Grisham's thrillers and would have been five stars if ...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 August 2022

Oh this is very good, John Grisham's story of a jury manipulated, twisted and turned in a trial against a tobacco company is up there with the best of his legal thrillers: "The Partner", "The Firm" and of course "The Pelican Brief"; and like those books it's both clever and hovers in that space between credible and fantasy [but there are no spoilers here].

So why four stars and not five? It's certainly a five star story: it's well-paced, it twists and turns, there are clever little side-bar plots and there's a big reveal at the end, and it's a five star read. And it would have been five stars but [warning you may consider this to be nit-picking] with a jury of twelve plus three substitutes and their nearest and dearests; the court officials; the plaintiff's legal team; the defendant's legal team; mixed cops, hoodlums and lowlifes; plus various bit part players there's too many characters to keep tabs on, what it needed was a dramatis personnae and that would have made it all so much easier.

A trial is to be held in boloxi mississippi, against a tobacco company by a wife whose husband died of cancer.

On the prosecution you have wendall rohr, on the defence durwood cable who is being directed by a ruthless consultant rankin fitch.

What they don't know is there are two players looking to coax the jury to swing the verdict, who are they and why are they doing this and which way will the case go.

Simply captivating

One of the first John Grisham books I read when it was first released. Will hold you in a grip of anticipation. John Grishams earlier work was fantastic, a bit too technical but fascinated nevertheless

Too many characters, too many sub-plots

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 June 2022

Verified Purchase

I have read almost every one of JG's books. However found this one a real haul with far too many characters and sub plots making it difficult to follow the storyline. Grisham is usually good at reminding the reader of who characters are as they reappear in the storyline. Not this one. Sorry but in my opinion not one of his usual enthralling stories. I have read most of his books twice sometimes 3 times but this one is destined for the charity shop after one read.

Awful

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 May 2019

Why didn't I listen to the 'one-star' reviews, it would have saved me time and money. There is only one word for this book, BORING. I struggled and struggled to read it but found it too much, I skip read to the end (missing out many chapters) and read the last couple. Ohhh, the agony.

A bit long and dated

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 August 2018

Verified Purchase

Not my favourite Grisham so far. It did go on a bit. Also a bit dated now that huge changes have been made to tobacco advertising, sales and public smoking in the UK. I've never seen the film but I understand that it differs, mainly as the trial's about gun companies rather than smoking. It's fine, well written, a bit pacy, lots of characters but I was able to follow who was who.

Best novel I’ve read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 July 2022

Verified Purchase

This is the only book I’ve ever read twice. Absolutely brilliant for intrigue and suspense. I think this is Grisham’s finest work. I’d be surprised if any thriller lovers didn’t like this! Having said that, I’m stunned that some readers on Amazon have given it only one star. You can’t please all the people all the time!
