The Runaway Jury
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 behavior. Is the jury somehow being manipulated, or even controlled? If so, by whom? And, more important, why?

John Grisham
John Grisham’s name is synonymous with legal thrillers that not only captivate but also ignite deeper conversations about justice, morality, and the American legal system. With his storytelling prowess, he has transformed complex legal cases into gripping, page-turning narratives that millions of readers have come to trust and love.
Born in 1955 in Jonesboro, Arkansas, Grisham’s early life was rooted in the small-town South—a setting that would influence much of his later work. After earning his law degree from the University of Mississippi, Grisham practiced law for nearly a decade, focusing on criminal defense and personal injury. It was during these years that he discovered the dramatic possibilities of the legal world, experiences that would lay the foundation for his debut novel, A Time to Kill (1989). Though initially met with lukewarm reception, it ultimately gained the recognition it deserved, particularly after Grisham’s breakout success with The Firm (1991).
