內容簡介 「葛里遜的書迷絕對會因經典的追逐戰和令人滿意的結局感到興奮，而喜歡看書的讀者也會在激喜中打滾」─The Florida Times, Union莫西是個年輕作家，最近她遭受嚴重的創作瓶頸打擊，成天抱怨沒有靈感來源，更糟的是，她還被原本任職的學校開除，就在她人生似乎走到谷底的同時，有個神祕的女人出現，希望莫西去調查一個書商卡博，滲透他的生活，然後向女人回報取得報酬。女人要莫西調查這個書商的原因是，她懷疑前陣子普林斯頓大學失竊的大師作家費茲傑羅的手稿，現在已流入他的手中，卡博表面上是珍稀書二手商，但私底下也有經營贓書買賣。莫西應要求到了佛羅里達的Camino Island，認識了卡博，偽裝身分接近卡博，但隨著她調查地越深入，她的處境就越危險，莫西是否可以全身而退呢？專寫和法律相關的懸疑小說的葛里遜，這次換了口味，場景不再是全體肅靜的法庭，而是度假小島Camino Island，但劇情一樣精采，葛里遜的讀者不能錯過的佳作！#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “A delightfully lighthearted caper . . . [a] fast-moving, entertaining tale.”—Pittsburgh Post-GazetteA gang of thieves stage a daring heist from a vault deep below Princeton University’s Firestone Library. Their loot is priceless, impossible to resist. Bruce Cable owns a popular bookstore in the sleepy resort town of Santa Rosa on Camino Island in Florida. He makes his real money, though, as a prominent dealer in rare books. Very few people know that he occasionally dabbles in unsavory ventures. Mercer Mann is a young novelist with a severe case of writer’s block who has recently been laid off from her teaching position. She is approached by an elegant, mysterious woman working for an even more mysterious company. A generous monetary offer convinces Mercer to go undercover and infiltrate Cable’s circle of literary friends, to get close to the ringleader, to discover his secrets.But soon Mercer learns far too much, and there’s trouble in paradise—as only John Grisham can deliver it.Praise for Camino Island“A happy lark [that] provides the pleasure of a leisurely jaunt periodically jolted into high gear, just for the fun and speed of it.”—The New York Times Book Review“Sheer catnip . . . [Grisham] reveals an amiable, sardonic edge here that makes Camino Island a most agreeable summer destination.”—USA Today“Fans will thrill with the classic chase and satisfying ending; and book lovers will wallow in ecstasy.”—The Florida Times-Union
