John Grisham is the author of forty-seven consecutive #1
bestsellers, which have been translated into nearly fifty
languages. His recent books include The Judge's List, Sooley, and
his third Jake Brigance novel, A Time for Mercy, which is being
developed by HBO as a limited series.
Grisham is a two-time winner of the Harper Lee Prize for Legal
Fiction and was honored with the Library of Congress Creative
Achievement Award for Fiction.
When he's not writing, Grisham serves on the board of directors of
the Innocence Project and of Centurion Ministries, two national
organizations dedicated to exonerating those who have been
wrongfully convicted. Much of his fiction explores deep-seated
problems in our criminal justice system.
John lives on a farm in central Virginia.
“Terrific…affecting…Grisham has done it again. Such creative
longevity is not that unusual in the suspense genre, but what is
rare is Grisham’s feat of keeping up the pace of producing, on
average, a novel a year without a notable diminishment of ingenuity
or literary quality.”—Maureen Corrigan, The Washington Post
“Grisham again delivers a suspenseful thriller mixed with powerful
themes such as false incarceration, the death penalty and how the
legal system shows prejudice. The Guardian team of characters is
first-rate.”– Associated Press
“With his début, 1989’s A Time to Kill, Grisham established himself
as a skilled storyteller, a writer who can nimbly portray complex
characters who overcome their fears and flaws to pursue
justice. Thirty years later, his authorial prowess glows
again in this riveting tale.”—Fredericksburg Free Lance Star
“[Grisham] has created a powerful no-nonsense protagonist that you
cannot help rooting for in a story stocked with tension and flavor
that will have you flipping the pages to a very satisfying
ending.”—Florida Times-Union
“Grisham’s colorful prose is riveting, and the issue is a timely
one that can be too easily overlooked…His fictional legal
happenings convey a loud and clear ring of veracity.”–Pittsburgh
Post-Gazette
“The Guardians, the newest legal thriller from John Grisham, a true
wizard of the form, is certainly not going to disappoint. Fans of
the author are going to find it wholly satisfying.”–Anniston Star
