Book Review- John Grisham�s The Runaway Jury

Nishant Mohanty

Abstract :

 John Grisham‘s seventh novel chronicles a law suit against the tobacco industry set in a Biloxi, Mississippi, courtroom. Before his writing career started, as a lawyer in a single-man firm, Grisham frequently took civil cases, including product liability, although never one of the multimillion dollar magnitude nor the nationwide attention that he describes here. This novel is a thriller about two competing efforts to rig the jury‘s verdict: one from the evil tobacco industry, the other from a seemingly innocuous juror. As is typical for Grisham, the little guy wins this battle and ings about a huge defeat for Big Tobacco. Thus readers marvel at the intricate manoeuvres of the competing conspirators and laugh at the ways some manoeuvres work out.
