The Rooster Bar : a novel / John Grisham
New York : Dell, 2018
Abstract: Mark, Todd, and Zola came to law school to change the world, to make it a better place. But now, as third-year students, these close friends realize they have been duped. They all borrowed heavily to attend a third-tier, for-profit law school so mediocre that its graduates rarely pass the bar exam, let alone get good jobs. And when they learn that their school is one of a chain owned by a shady New York hedge-fund operator who also happens to own a bank specializing in student loans, the three know they have been caught up in The Great Law School Scam. But maybe there's a way out. Maybe there's a way to escape their crushing debt, expose the bank and the scam, and make a few bucks in the process. But to do so, they would first have to quit school. And leaving law school a few short months before graduation would be completely crazy, right? Well, yes and no.

L'ex avvocato / John Grisham ; traduzione di Nicoletta Lamberti
Milano : Mondadori, 2014
Abstract: Chi è Malcolm Bannister? E cosa ha a che fare con la morte del giudice Fawcett? Quando un lunedì mattina il giudice non si presenta a un processo, i suoi collaboratori, preoccupati, chiamano l'FBI. Il corpo viene ritrovato nel seminterrato del suo cottage sul lago insieme a quello della giovane segretaria. La cassaforte aperta e svuotata. Nessuna impronta, nessun segno di scasso né di colluttazione, tranne piccole bruciature sul cadavere della donna. Solo Malcolm Bannister sa chi è stato e cosa è realmente successo. Apprezzato avvocato di colore, anzi, ex avvocato radiato dall'albo della Virginia perché coinvolto in una vicenda di riciclaggio di denaro, è attualmente detenuto nel Federal Prison Camp, nel Maryland, dove dispensa consigli legali ai compagni. Ha già scontato metà della sua condanna, ma vuole a tutti i costi uscire il prima possibile, e ora sa come fare: la sua libertà in cambio del nome del colpevole. Non avendo alcuna pista da seguire, l'FBI è interessato ad ascoltare le sue rivelazioni, anche perché Bannister sembra essere informato su molte altre cose, per esempio sul contenuto della cassaforte. Ma tutto ha un prezzo, soprattutto notizie così scottanti come quelle relative agli eventi che hanno portato alla morte del giudice Fawcett. Bannister è deciso a giocare le sue carte fino in fondo, e non è certo nato ieri. Ma niente è come sembra: i ruoli si capovolgono, gli scenari si alternano, in una sfida in cui ogni mossa è studiata nel minimo dettaglio.
The racketeer : a novel / John Grisham
New York : Bantam books, 2013
London : Arrow, 2013
Abstract: This is the multi-million copy bestselling thriller that introduced Jake Brigance to Clanton...and has now inspired a sequel, Sycamore Row. When Carl Lee Hailey guns down the hoodlums who have raped his ten-year-old daughter, the people of Clanton see it as a crime of blood and call for his acquittal. But when extremists outside Clanton hear that a black man has killed two white men, they invade the town, determined to destroy anything and anyone that opposes their sense of justice. Jake Brigance has been hired to defend Hailey. It's the kind of case that can make or break a young lawyer. But in the maelstrom of Clanton, it is also the kind of case that could get a young lawyer killed.

Playing for pizza / John Grisham
New York : Dell, 2008
Abstract: Rick Dockery was the third-string quarterback for the Cleveland Browns. In the AFC Championship game, to the surprise and dismay of virtually everyone, Rick actually got into the game. With a 17-point lead and just minutes to go, Rick provided what was arguably the worst single performance in the history of the NFL. Overnight, he became a national laughingstock--and was immediately cut by the Browns and shunned by all other teams. But all Rick knows is football, and he insists that his agent find a team that needs him. Against enormous odds, Rick finally gets a job--as the "starting "quarterback for the Mighty Panthers . . . of Parma, Italy. The Parma Panthers desperately want a former NFL player--any former NFL player--at their helm. And now they've got Rick, who knows nothing about Parma (not even where it is) and doesn't speak a word of Italian. To say that Italy--the land of fine wines, extremely small cars, and "football americano"--holds a few surprises for Rick Dockery would be something of an understatement. . . .
