Book Review By John B. Dirian
The Runaway Jury by John Grisham

In Biloxi, Mississippi, a landmark trial begins against Big Tobacco, worth hundreds of millions of dollars. At first, everything goes as planned, until the jury begins behaving strangely, and at least one juror thinks he's being watched. It is a fantastic story, full of twists and turns, and delves deeply into the subject of how far some people will go to bury the truth.
