The Summons

“The Summons ranks as my absolute favorite in many years [with] an ending too delicious and morally instructive to give away.”—USA Today

“Grisham has grown more comfortable with his voice while expanding its range. In The Summons, he returns in all his Grisham glory. . . . The Summons is more than a . . . return to form; it marks out the rich literary territory Grisham has begun to occupy.”—Los Angeles Times

“There’s much to admire in [Grisham’s] newest thriller, particularly his colorful evocation of a Deep South legal setting . . . and some finely drawn characters.”—Publishers Weekly

“If there’s ever been a literary example of giving the people what they want, The Summons is it.”—Fort Worth Star-Telegram

“The Summons has the hallmarks of old-style Grisham.”—The Plain Dealer

“A swift, no-nonsense story written in a highly effective, uncluttered fashion.”—The New York Times Book Review

“Grisham’s skill in plotting legal dramas that can turn on a dime is as sharp here as in his previous works. The characters in Clanton have the authentic touch of hometown Mississippi, and Grisham’s crisp dialogue moves the story smartly along. . . . The Summons will keep his fans happy and burnish his reputation as a master of the legal suspense thriller.”—Richmond Times-Dispatch

“Another Grisham page-turner.”—The Orlando Sentinel Tribune
