The thing about the economic interests created, and their ability to break through between the three powers is not as fictional a subject as we might think. And perhaps that is why Grisham's stories end up becoming bedside readings for so many readers.
In this book The bribe, (of whose prequel I already gave a good account), the theme of those interests that buy and corrupt, that adjust with their money any legal article and any will reluctant to their amoral business intention is reproduced.
The good old Lacy Stoltz, a modest Florida lawyer, nevertheless becomes the most qualified lawyer to reveal what happens at the main point of this story. His usual performance in search of compensation for anyone who considers that justice has violated him or generated some defenselessness.
Until he discovers that the greatest defenselessness for individuals derives from this manipulation of the general interest by large capitals. At Lacy's hands comes the complaint about a judge who has allowed a casino to be installed on lands of special protection due to his determination as a reserve.
The whistleblower is Greg Myers. Between her and Greg they will begin their crusade against this judge. What they discover manifests itself as belonging to a mafia of gigantic proportions. That is when it comes to weighing the extent to which you are at risk. The defense machinery may seek the ruin of Lucy and Greg. And what is worse, the defendants may be starting to pull their strings to get them to separate them in any way.
There are accidents at all times. And ways to provoke them in a way that seems absolutely casual and haphazard is a skill of the underworld professionals.
But Lacy doesn't plan to back down. She remains determined to bring Greg before a judge to unravel everything that goes on in the case. Will be worth? Will justice finally be delivered on the judge who allowed himself to be bribed at the price of gold? Will Greg sit down to explain his truth? Will they find the evidence to corroborate their version? A new masterful approach by John Grisham to keep us tied to this novel.
You can buy the book The bribe, the new novel by John Grisham, here:
I think there is no better author of judicial, financial and economic corruption novels. He is also the author who works the least reading. His writing is simple, straightforward but rich. Always to the point, you don't need to embellish situations. Everything about him is important. I think there is no author more comfortable to read, more interesting and more realistic. I am eager to begin reading this latest book.
Definitely. You never find straw, which is quite an art. And how he manages to lead you through a profane world, super technical in its real reflection so naturally.
