JOHN GRISHAM
Top among best-selling authors, Grisham writes fast-paced, easy reading stories of legal intrigue, in which the underdog lawyer fights injustice — and wins. Details of the legal system fill these novels, but the action more frequently involves the investigation rather than courtroom action.
Grisham offers readers an insider's view, and he shares his low opinion of much of the legal profession. His wry style keeps us on the inside; he makes jokes with the reader and makes us feel the knowledgeable insider, rather than someone on the outside observing. These are cinematic stories of lawyers fighting for the little guy or lawyers as the little guy, fighting corruption in the legal profession, government, or big business. The stories are suspenseful, with a sense of danger pervading the novel.
