Publisher Description
Following John Grisham's international bestsellers, Camino Island and Camino Winds, Camino Ghosts is the story of an island off the Florida coast with a haunted, violent history and an uncertain future.
Dark Isle off the Florida coast is said to be cursed: drownings, disappearances and hauntings have been the fate of intruders. The people who lived there were once enslaved. Now abandoned, it is the target of greedy developers.
Lovely Jackson is the last survivor and claims to be its legal owner. But there is not a shred of evidence to prove that is true.
It's unlikely that the developers will be deterred by the claims of one old woman. They have millions; Lovely only has Steve Mahon, a pro bono environmental lawyer, and Mercer Mann, a floundering novelist, to fight in her corner.
With the court case looming and the bulldozers waiting to roll in, Steve and Mercer are in a race against time to unearth the truth behind Lovely's story and save the legacy of the island.
Praise for Camino Winds:
'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' Delia Owens, author of Where the Crawdads Sing
'The Camino Island series, featuring trouble-prone bookseller Bruce Cable, is a perfect escapist mix of detective action, insider riffs on the literary world - and even a little romance' Mail on Sunday
'Camino Winds has all the usual Grisham hallmarks - a pacy plot and tension-filled scenes' Independent
'Another compelling read from Grisham, and will satisfy old fans and please new readers alike' Press Association
Camino Ghosts was a Sunday Times top five bestseller in the first week of June 2024.
Customer Reviews
Amazing strong vivid characters
Loved whopies oratory, she is my favourite actress and brought real life drama to the wonderful rendition of an amazing and heart felt story. Truly the connection to her own history and heritage runs through this story - what a clever bewitching choice to place her in this incredible tapestry of a life story. Thanks so much for a fun and enjoyable and at times terse and heartbreaking reminder of the inhumanity of man - intertwined with the love and kindness, care and support from kindred spirits. I listened to it as I drive up and down the mountains of Glen Coe along the rivers and streams of the Orchy and whizzing past majical catles of Scotland when I live - it was truly spellbinding thanks so much - more please, pretty please 🙏🏻
