What this book is about
A massive tobacco company faces a wrongful death lawsuit, and both sides have hired jury consultants with unlimited budgets. But one juror—known only as Number Nine—and a mysterious woman named Marlee are running their own game, selling the verdict to the highest bidder. Grisham's tightly plotted legal thriller works as both a page-turner and a critique of the American tort system, with his characteristic clean prose and escalating tension. A reliable entertainment machine.
