Then an FBI investigation plunges the straight and narrow attorney into a nightmare of terror and intrigue, with no choice but to pit his wits, ethics, and legal skills against the firm's deadly secrets--if he hopes to stay alive ...\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Grisham\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Anchor Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/25\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 544\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.50h x 4.20w x 1.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780440245926\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.6\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 20\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Upper Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e8564 \/ Firm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLong before his name became synonymous with the modern legal thriller, John Grisham was working 60-70 hours a week at a small Southaven, Mississippi law practice, squeezing in time before going to the office and during courtroom recesses to work on his hobby--writing his first novel. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBorn on February 8, 1955 in Jonesboro, Arkansas, to a construction worker and a homemaker, John Grisham as a child dreamed of being a professional baseball player. Realizing he didn't have the right stuff for a pro career, he shifted gears and majored in accounting at Mississippi State University. After graduating from law school at Ole Miss in 1981, he went on to practice law for nearly a decade in Southaven, specializing in criminal defense and personal injury litigation. In 1983, he was elected to the state House of Representatives and served until 1990. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOne day at the DeSoto County courthouse, Grisham overheard the harrowing testimony of a twelve-year-old rape victim and was inspired to start a novel exploring what would have happened if the girl's father had murdered her assailants. Getting up at 5 a.m. every day to get in several hours of writing time before heading off to work, Grisham spent three years on \u003cb\u003eA Time to Kill\u003c\/b\u003e and finished it in 1987. Initially rejected by many publishers, it was eventually bought by Wynwood Press, who gave it a modest 5,000 copy printing and published it in June 1988. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThat might have put an end to Grisham's hobby. However, he had already begun his next book, and it would quickly turn that hobby into a new full-time career--and spark one of publishing's greatest success stories. The day after Grisham completed \u003cb\u003eA Time to Kill\u003c\/b\u003e, he began work on another novel, the story of a hotshot young attorney lured to an apparently perfect law firm that was not what it appeared. When he sold the film rights to \u003cb\u003eThe Firm\u003c\/b\u003e to Paramount Pictures for $600,000, Grisham suddenly became a hot property among publishers, and book rights were bought by Doubleday. Spending 47 weeks on The New York Times bestseller list, \u003cb\u003eThe Firm\u003c\/b\u003e became the bestselling novel of 1991. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe successes of \u003cb\u003eThe Pelican Brief\u003c\/b\u003e, which hit number one on the New York Times bestseller list, and \u003cb\u003eThe Client\u003c\/b\u003e, which debuted at number one, confirmed Grisham's reputation as the master of the legal thriller. Grisham's success even renewed interest in \u003cb\u003eA Time to Kill\u003c\/b\u003e, which was republished in hardcover by Doubleday and then in paperback by Dell. This time around, it was a bestseller. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSince first publishing \u003cb\u003eA Time to Kill\u003c\/b\u003e in 1988, Grisham has written one novel a year (his other books are \u003cb\u003eThe Firm, The Pelican Brief, The Client, The Chamber, The Rainmaker, The Runaway Jury, The Partner, The Street Lawyer, The Testament, The Brethren, A Painted House, Skipping Christmas, The Summons, The King of Torts, Bleachers, The Last Juror, \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003eThe Broker, Playing for Pizza, \u003c\/b\u003eand \u003cb\u003eThe Appeal\u003c\/b\u003e) and all of them have become international bestsellers. There are currently over 225 million John Grisham books in print worldwide, which have been translated into 29 languages. Nine of his novels have been turned into films (\u003cb\u003eThe Firm, The Pelican Brief, The Client, A Time to Kill, The Rainmaker, The Chamber, A Painted House, The Runaway Jury\u003c\/b\u003e, and \u003cb\u003eSkipping Christmas\u003c\/b\u003e), as was an original screenplay, \u003cb\u003eThe Gingerbread Man\u003c\/b\u003e. \u003cb\u003eThe Innocent Man\u003c\/b\u003e (October 2006) marked his first foray into non-fiction. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGrisham lives with his wife Renee and their two children Ty and Shea. The family splits their time between their Victorian home on a farm in Mississippi and a plantation near Charlottesville, VA. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGrisham took time off from writing for several months in 1996 to return, after a five-year hiatus, to the courtroom. He was honoring a commitment made before he had retired from the law to become a full-time writer: representing the family of a railroad brakeman killed when he was pinned between two cars. Preparing his case with the same passion and dedication as his books' protagonists, Grisham successfully argued his clients' case, earning them a jury award of $683,500--the biggest verdict of his career. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhen he's not writing, Grisham devotes time to charitable causes, including most recently his Rebuild The Coast Fund, which raised 8.8 million dollars for Gulf Coast relief in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. He also keeps up with his greatest passion: baseball. The man who dreamed of being a professional baseball player now serves as the local Little League commissioner. The six ballfields he built on his property have played host to over 350 kids on 26 Little League teams.","brand":"Grisham, John","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49366889693412,"sku":"9780440245926","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0611\/9587\/8628\/files\/91DszxvhJ3L.jpg?v=1783647961"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookandmortar.com\/collections\/grisham-john.oembed","provider":"BookandMortar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
