Judging Justice . . .

John Grisham gets back to the courtroom in this powerful, timely and shocking thriller. Full of intrigue and guile, this is a story that will leave you unable to think about justice in the same way.

In a crowded courtroom in Mississippi, a jury returns a 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 appeals to the Mississippi Supreme Court, whose nine justices will one day either approve the verdict or reverse it.

The chemical company is owned by a Wall Street predator named Carl Trudeau, and with judicial elections looming, he decides to try to purchase himself 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 . . .
