#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A “chilling and timeless” (The Washington Post) political and legal thriller that will leave readers unable to think about our electoral process or judicial system in quite the same way ever again.
“Fascinating . . . filled with deadly accurate characterizations by an author who knows both the law and politics from the inside.”—Los Angeles Times
In a crowded courtroom in Mississippi, a jury returns a shocking 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.
Who are the nine? How will they vote? Can one be replaced before the case is ultimately decided?
The chemical company is owned by a Wall Street predator named Carl Trudeau, and Mr. Trudeau is convinced the Court is not friendly enough. With judicial elections looming, he decides to try to purchase himself a seat on the Court. The cost is a few million dollars, a drop in the bucket for a billionaire like Mr. Trudeau. Through an intricate web of conspiracy and deceit, his political operatives recruit a young, unsuspecting candidate. They finance him, manipulate him, market him, and mold him into a potential Supreme Court justice. Their Supreme Court justice.

Bewertet: Buch (Gebundene Ausgabe)
John Grisham erzählt hier eine realistische, zum Teil auf wahren Gegebenheiten bewahrende Story, die äußerst spannend, lehrreich und ernüchternd ist. Wer ihn nicht schon längst verloren hat, wird den Glauben an Gerechtigkeit nach dieser Lektüre aufgeben.
