Camino Ghosts

In this new thriller set on Camino Island, popular bookseller Bruce Cable tells Mercer Mann an irresistible tale that might be her next novel. A giant resort developer is using its political muscle and deep pockets to claim ownership of a deserted island between Florida and Georgia. Only the last living inhabitant of the island, Lovely Jackson, stands in its way. What the developer doesn't know is that the island has a remarkable history, and locals believe it is cursed . . . and the past is never the past . . .

John Grisham, no.1 bestselling author and master of the legal thriller, takes us back to paradise. Filled with unpredictable twists, the return to Camino Island is guaranteed to be this summer's perfect escape.

Praise for Camino Winds:

'In American icon John Grisham's new novel, Camino Winds, an odd assortment of mystery and crime authors, some of them felons themselves, discover one of their colleagues has been murdered during the fury of a massive hurricane-the perfect crime scene' Delia Owens, author of Where the Crawdads Sing

'The Camino Island series, featuring trouble-prone bookseller Bruce Cable, is a perfect escapist mix of detective action, insider riffs on the literary world - and even a little romance' Mail on Sunday

'Camino Winds has all the usual Grisham hallmarks - a pacy plot and tension-filled scenes' Independent

'Another compelling read from Grisham, and will satisfy old fans and please new readers alike' Press Association

Cable is an engaging protagonist, full of ambiguities, a man whose own morality is full of 'grey areas' . . . Camino Winds has all the usual Grisham hallmarks - a pacy plot, tension-filled scenes - and the descriptions of a storm-battered island are well executed Independent
A perfect summer read, enjoying all his plotting wizardry and deft characterisation Irish Independent
Another gem from John Grisham . . . There is something very soothing about Camino Winds, despite the fact it deals with more than one brutal murder and a drugs conspiracy. The follow-up to Grisham's Camino Island, it's very different in tone to his legal thrillers . . . Grisham knows what he's doing Observer
