#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “Terrific . . . affecting . . . Grisham has done it again.”—Maureen Corrigan, The Washington Post In the small Florida town of Seabrook, a young lawyer named Keith Russo was shot dead at his desk as he worked late one night. The killer left no clues. There were no witnesses, no one with a motive. But the police soon came to suspect Quincy Miller, a young black man who was once a client of Russo’s. Quincy was tried, convicted, and sent to prison for life. For twenty-two years he languished in prison, maintaining his innocence. But no one was listening. He had no lawyer, no advocate on the outside. In desperation, he writes a letter to Guardian Ministries, a small nonprofit run by Cullen Post, a lawyer who is also an Episcopal minister. Guardian accepts only a few innocence cases at a time. Cullen Post travels the country fighting wrongful convictions and taking on clients forgotten by the system. With Quincy Miller, though, he gets far more than he bargained for. Powerful, ruthless people murdered Keith Russo, and they do not want Quincy Miller exonerated. They killed one lawyer twenty-two years ago, and they will kill another without a second thought. “A suspenseful thriller mixed with powerful themes.”—Associated Press “[John Grisham’s] authorial prowess glows again in this riveting tale.”—Fredericksburg Free Lance–Star
In this instant #1 New York Times bestseller, John Grisham delivers a classic legal thriller—with a twist.“Terrific…affecting…Grisham has done it again.”—Maureen Corrigan, The Washington Post “A suspenseful thriller mixed with powerful themes.”—Associated PressIn the small Florida town of Seabrook, a young lawyer named Keith Russo was shot dead at his desk as he worked late one night.

Hace veintidós años mataron a un abogado. Lo volverán a hacer sin pensarlo dos veces. En la pequeña ciudad de Seabrook, en Florida, un joven abogado llamado Keith Russo fue asesinado de un disparo una noche que trabajaba tarde en su oficina. El asesino no dejo huellas. No hubo testigos del crimen, y se desconoce el motivo por el que alguien querría matar al abogado. Sin embargo, la policía sospechaba de Quincy Miller, un joven de raza negra que fue cliente de Russo años atrás. Quincy fue juzgado, arrestado, y condenado a prisión de por vida. Durante veintidós años, Quincy languideció en prisión, manteniendo su inocencia. Pero nadie lo escuchaba. No tenia abogados, ni nadie que lo defendiera. En su desesperación, Quincy escribió una carta a Los Ministros Guardianes, una pequeña empresa de caridad dirigía por Cullen Post, un abogado que a su vez es un ministro episcopal. Los Guardianes aceptan pocos casos inocentes. Cullen Post viaja por todo el país luchando por anular convicciones erróneas, y toma a los clientes a los que el sistema ha olvidado. Sin embargo, el caso de Quincy Miller será particularmente difícil. Los asesinos de Keith Russo son poderosos y crueles, y harán lo que sea para evitar que Quincy Miller sea exonerado.
John Grisham is the author of thirty novels, one work of nonfiction, a collection of stories, and six novels for young readers.
“Terrific…affecting…Grisham has done it again. Such creative longevity is not that unusual in the suspense genre, but what is rare is Grisham’s feat of keeping up the pace of producing, on average, a novel a year without a notable diminishment of ingenuity or literary quality.”—Maureen Corrigan, The Washington Post“Grisham again delivers a suspenseful thriller mixed with powerful themes such as false incarceration, the death penalty and how the legal system shows prejudice. The Guardian team of characters is first-rate.”– Associated Press “With his début, 1989’s A Time to Kill, Grisham established himself as a skilled storyteller, a writer who can nimbly portray complex characters who overcome their fears and flaws to pursue justice. Thirty years later, his authorial prowess glows again in this riveting tale.”—Fredericksburg Free Lance Star “[Grisham] has created a powerful no-nonsense protagonist that you cannot help rooting for in a story stocked with tension and flavor that will have you flipping the pages to a very satisfying ending.”—Florida Times-Union“Grisham’s colorful prose is riveting, and the issue is a timely one that can be too easily overlooked…His fictional legal happenings convey a loud and clear ring of veracity.”–Pittsburgh Post-Gazette“The Guardians, the newest legal thriller from John Grisham, a true wizard of the form, is certainly not going to disappoint. Fans of the author are going to find it wholly satisfying.”–Anniston Star
