作者簡介
約翰.葛里遜(John Grisham)
1955年生於美國阿肯色州。密西西比州立大學法學院畢業,曾任執業律師。從小家貧的葛里遜曾夢想成為職棒球員,爾後興趣漸漸轉向文學。在近乎十年的法界生涯中,葛里遜看遍人生百態,並利用公餘將其轉化為小說養分。1989年發表第一本小說《A Time To Kill殺戮時刻》,而他的第二本書《The Firm黑色豪門企業》出版後大受歡迎,也讓他坐上法律驚悚小說之王的寶座。
小說走紅後葛里遜辭去法界工作,成為專職作家。葛里遜擅長描寫法庭與人性,小說本本暢銷,堪稱排行榜上的常勝軍,其中7部小說已改編為電影。他的作品已被翻譯成29種語言,全球的銷售量超過6000萬冊,曾被《出版人週刊》譽為「九○年代最暢銷的小說家」。
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 chemical company is owned by a Wall Street predator named Carl Trudeau, and Mr. Trudeau is convinced the Court is not friendly enough. With judicial elections looming, he decides to try to purchase himself a seat on the Court. The cost is a few million dollars, a drop in the bucket for a billionaire like Mr. Trudeau. Through an intricate web of conspiracy and deceit, his political operatives recruit a young, unsuspecting candidate. They finance him, manipulate him, market him, and mold him into a potential Supreme Court justice. Their Supreme Court justice. The Appeal is a powerful, timely, and shocking story of political and legal intrigue, a story that will leave readers unable to think about the American electoral process or judicial system in quite the same way ever again.
