"John Grisham's first novel, published 1989, after which he never looked back, but went to work the next day on his highly successful (and filmed)...."
"This is my own first, recently published, set 1951. A young army officer tires of the horrors of war, but finds himself entangled in the horrors of marriage, business & an illicit sexual relationship."
"John recently tried his hand at adapting his legal thriller style to the young adult market, with this story of a 13-year old's entanglement with a murder witness."
"I went for something different for my first novel, the story of 16-year old Zorn's pursuit of romance in the much changed future world of 2035. Even a holiday resort can be home to politics & hatred."
"One of John's best novels, but written in a hurry. The film version picks up on the frenetic pace, resulting in non-stop action. The President is implicated. That's okay; we know they're all dirty."
