Grisham to write real-life thriller
10/03/2005 - 19:30:30John Grisham’s next legal thriller will have a new twist: It will all be true.
The author of The Firm, The Client and other best sellers is writing a work of non-fiction, his first, about a death-row inmate who nearly died for a murder he didn’t commit.
The book, not yet titled, is scheduled for publication in 2006
“It’s a natural story for John to tell,” Stephen Rubin, president and publisher of Doubleday Broadway, said in a statement. “It has many of the same themes present in his novels – legal suspense, the death penalty, wrongful conviction, even baseball. It’s the ultimate true legal thriller.”
