- "A delightfully lighthearted caper . . . [a] fast-moving, entertaining tale."-Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
A gang of thieves stage a daring heist from a vault deep below Princeton University`s Firestone Library. Their loot is priceless, impossible to resist.
Bruce Cable owns a popular bookstore in the sleepy resort town of Santa Rosa on Camino Island in Florida. He makes his real money, though, as a prominent dealer in rare books. Very few people know that he occasionally dabbles in unsavory ventures.
Mercer Mann is a young novelist with a severe case of writer`s block who has recently been laid off from her teaching position. She is approached by an elegant, mysterious woman working for an even more mysterious company. A generous monetary offer convinces Mercer to go undercover and infiltrate Cable`s circle of literary friends, to get close to the ringleader, to discover his secrets.
But soon Mercer learns far too much, and there`s trouble in paradise-as only John Grisham can deliver it.
Praise for Camino Island

"Sheer catnip . . . [Grisham] reveals an amiable, sardonic edge here that makes Camino Island a most agreeable summer destination."-USA Today
"Fans will thrill with the classic chase and satisfying ending; and book lovers will wallow in ecstasy."-The Florida Times-Union
