The Runaway Jury -- John Grisham

<p><b>#1 <i>NEW YORK TIMES</i> BESTSELLER - Every jury has a leader, and the verdict belongs to them.</b> <p/>They are at the center of a multimillion-dollar legal hurricane: twelve men and women who have been investigated, watched, manipulated, and harassed by high-priced lawyers and consultants who will stop at nothing to secure a verdict. Now the jury must make a decision in the most explosive civil trial of the century, a precedent-setting lawsuit against a giant tobacco company. But only a handful of people know the truth: that this jury has a leader, and the verdict belongs to him. <p/>He is known only as Juror #2. But he has a name, a past, and he has planned his every move with the help of a beautiful woman on the outside. Now, while a corporate empire hangs in the balance, while a grieving family waits, and while lawyers are plunged into a battle for their careers, the truth about Juror #2 is about to explode in a cross fire of greed and corruption--and with justice fighting for its life.</p><br><br><b>Author:</b> John Grisham<br><b>Publisher:</b> Anchor Books<br><b>Published:</b> 04/25/2006<br><b>Pages:</b> 464<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.76lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.16h x 5.34w x 1.01d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780385339698<br><br><b>Accelerated Reader:</b><br><b>Reading Level:</b> 8<br><b>Point Value:</b> 23<br><b>Interest Level:</b> Upper Grade<br><b>Quiz #/Name: </b>14921 / Runaway Jury<br><br><p><b>About the Author</b><br>Born on February 8, 1955 i
