The Appeal

von John Grisham

John Grisham's 1 international hardcover bestseller is a timely story of political and legal intrigue. 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 APPEAL will leave readers unable to think about the American electoral process or judicial system in quite the same way ever again.
