The Runaway Jury by John Grisham

Every jury has a leader, and the verdict belongs to him.

In Biloxi, Mississippi, a landmark trial with hundreds of millions of dollars at stake begins routinely, then swerves mysteriously off course. The jury is behaving strangely, and at least one juror is convinced he's being watched. Soon they have to be sequestered. Then a tip from an anonymous young woman suggests she is able to predict the jurors' increasingly odd behaviour.

 Is the jury somehow being manipulated, or even controlled? If so, by whom? And, more importantly, why?

The Runaway Jury will once more confirm John Grisham's position as the most popular fiction writer of the decade. It is a book of relentless pace and excitement, combining the author's unparalleled knowledge of the law and lawyers and the way trials work with a beguiling mystery which will keep the reader guessing right to the last page.
