Book Overview: The Guardians

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER – A classic legal thriller–with a twist. – “A suspenseful thriller mixed with powerful themes such as false incarceration, the death penalty and how the legal system shows prejudice.” –Associated Press

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.

Editorial Reviews

“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

About the Author

John Grisham

John Grisham is one of the most illustrious and accomplished authors in the realm of legal thrillers. Born on February 8, 1955 in Jonesboro, Arkansas, Grisham’s journey from a small-town lawyer to a globally renowned author encompasses sheer hard work and an unwavering passion for weaving riveting courtroom dramas. He pursued a degree in Criminal Law from Mississippi State University and later practiced law for nearly a decade, experience that serves as the backbone to his gripping narratives.

Grisham’s writing career took off in 1989 with the publication of his first book, “A Time to Kill,” which was initially met with a lukewarm response. It wasn’t until the overwhelming success of his second book, “The Firm,” that Grisham started to garner international acclaim. His knack for deftly blending real-life legal intricacies with edge-of-the-seat suspense quickly catapulted him into the ranks of the best-selling authors.

Today, John Grisham’s repertoire includes more than 30 novels, a short story collection, and a series for young readers, all translated into 42 languages worldwide. Many of his works, such as “The Firm,” “The Pelican Brief,” and “A Time to Kill,” have been adapted into successful films. Beyond his writing career, Grisham is also known for his philanthropic efforts, particularly in promoting and supporting creative writing scholarships and programs. His monumental success in the literary world continues to be an inspiration for aspiring authors, making him a true icon of our times.
