John Grisham's new novel, Gray Mountain, is now on our shelves as a signed first edition. Gray Mountain is set in the shadow of the recent financial crisis with a corporate lawyer, Samantha Kofer, at its center - Grisham's first female protagonist since The Pelican Brief. After losing her big-wig job in New York City, Samantha is cast off to small-town Appalachia and finds herself wrapped up in Big Coal. Grisham's new legal thriller, deemed "angry and important," dives deep into Big Coal and promises to enlighten the reader while delivering an imaginative and enthralling story. The Washington Post summarized, "This novel... shows Grisham's work - always superior entertainment - evolving into something more serious, more powerful, more worthy of his exceptional talent."
