Camino Winds Synopsis
A STORM IS BREWING ON CAMINO ISLAND.
When a hurricane threatens an island just off the coast of Florida, a small group of diehard residents watch as their neighbours flee the coming storm.
But for one of them, staying is a fatal mistake. When the body is first discovered in the wreckage, the police dismiss the death as accidental. But Bruce Cable is unconvinced. It falls to him to uncover the truth.
But what Cable unearths is far more dangerous than any hurricane...

John Grisham Press Reviews
Plenty of suspects and a slew of memorable characters - Irish Independent
Plenty of suspects and a slew of memorable characters - Irish Independent
gripping (...) I can highly recommend - Stuart Johnstone, My Weekly
A perfect summer read, enjoying all his plotting wizardry and deft characterisation - Irish Independent
The novel has enough plot twists to keep you engaged without it feeling exhausting. Another compelling read from Grisham - The Herald
Another compelling read from Grisham, and will satisfy old fans and please new readers alike - Press Association
Cable is an engaging protagonist, full of ambiguities, a man whose own morality is full of 'grey areas'... Camino Winds has all the usual Grisham hallmarks - a pacy plot, tension-filled scenes - and the descriptions of a storm-battered island are well executed - Independent
Another gem from John Grisham... There is something very soothing about Camino Winds , despite the fact it deals with more than one brutal murder and a drugs conspiracy. The follow-up to Grisham's Camino Island , it's very different in tone to his legal thrillers... Grisham knows what he's doing - Observer
The Camino Island series, featuring trouble-prone bookseller Bruce Cable, is a chance for Grisham to have fun... A perfect escapist mix of detective action, insider riffs on the literary world - and even a little romance - Mail on Sunday
In American icon John Grisham's new novel, Camino Winds, an odd assortment of mystery and crime authors, some of them felons themselves, discover one of their colleagues has been murdered during the fury of a massive hurricane-the perfect crime scene. Since officials are preoccupied with the aftermath of the storm, the authors set out to solve the mystery themselves, in the type of wild but smart caper that Grisham's readers love - Delia Owens, author of Where the Crawdads Sing

About John Grisham
John Grisham as a child dreamed of being a professional baseball player. After graduating from law school at Ole Miss in 1981, he went on to practice law for nearly a decade, specializing in criminal defense and personal injury litigation. One day, Grisham overheard the harrowing testimony of a twelve-year-old rape victim and was inspired to start a novel exploring what would have happened if the girl's father had murdered her assailants. Getting up at 5 a.m. every day to get in several hours of writing time before heading off to work, Grisham spent three years on A Time to Kill and finished it in 1987. His next novel, The Firm, spent 47 weeks on The New York Times bestseller list and became the bestselling novel of 1991. Since then, he has written one novel a year, including The Client, The Pelican Brief, The Rainmaker and The Runaway Jury. Today, Grisham has written a collection of stories, a work of nonfiction, three sports novels, four kids' books, and many legal thrillers. His work has been translated into 42 languages. He lives near Charlottesville, Virginia.
