The Confession

“Brilliant … The Confession is the kind of grab-a-reader-by-the-shoulders suspense story that demands to be inhaled as quickly as possible. But it’s also a superb work of social criticism in the literary troublemaker tradition of Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle.”—The Washington Post“[John Grisham] is a master at pacing… . The book starts fast and finishes faster.”—Los Angeles Times“Packed with tension, legal roadblocks and shocking revelations … Readers who share his views as well as those sitting on the fence will find much to love and lament in the tragic story of Donté Drumm.”—USA Today“Grisham is an adept ringmaster… . He channels his zeal and his legal expertise into a story that his fans will appreciate.”—St. Louis Post-Dispatch
