The Broker»rank: 13874par: John Grisham
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Before he was sent to federal prison for treason (among other things), Joel Backman was an extremely powerful man. Known as 'the broker,' Backman was a high roller--a lawyer making $10 million a year who could 'open any door in Washington.' That is, until he tried to broker a deal selling access to the world's most powerful satellite surveillance system to the highest bidder. When caught, Backman accepted prison as the one option that would keep him safe and alive, since the interested parties (the lsraelis, the Saudis, ... |

A Time to Kill»rank: 19172par: John Grisham
Chroniques et points de vue:From :This addictive tale of a young lawyer defending a black Vietnam war hero who kills the white druggies who raped his child in tiny Clanton, Mississippi, is John Grisham's first novel, and his favorite of his first six. He polished it for three years and every detail shines like pebbles at the bottom of a swift, sunlit stream. Grisham is a born legal storyteller and his dialogue is pitch perfect. The plot turns with jeweled precision. Carl Lee Hailey gets an M-16 from the Chicago hoodlum he'd saved at ... |

A Painted House»rank: 47145par: John Grisham
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Ever since he published The Firm in 1991, John Grisham has remained the undisputed champ of the legal thriller. With A Painted House, however, he strikes out in a new direction. As the author is quick to note, this novel includes 'not a single lawyer, dead or alive,' and readers will search in vain for the kind of lowlife machinations that have been his stock-in-trade. lnstead, Grisham has delivered a quieter, more contemplative story, set in rural Arkansas in 1952. lt's harvest time on the Chandler farm, and the ... |
