Description
By (author) Grisham John
Short /annotation:
The mesmerising new thriller from Sunday Times bestselling author John Grisham.
:
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 is said to be cursed: drownings, disappearances and hauntings have been the fate of intruders. It was settled by freed slaves 300 years ago, and their descendants lived there until 1955, when the last one was forced to leave. Now abandoned, it is the target of greedy developers.
Lovely Jackson is the last survivor of Dark Isle 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 Steven 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, Steven and Mercer are in a race against time to unearth the truth behind Lovely”s story and, together, save the legacy of the island.

Review quote:
Cable is an engaging protagonist, full of ambiguities, a man whose own morality is full of ”grey areas” . . . Camino Winds has all the usual Grisham hallmarks – a pacy plot, tension-filled scenes – and the s of a storm-battered island are well executed
Review quote:
A perfect summer read, enjoying all his plotting wizardry and deft characterisation
Review quote:
Another gem from John Grisham . . . There is something very soothing about Camino Winds, despite the fact it deals with more than one brutal murder and a drugs conspiracy. The follow-up to Grisham”s Camino Island, it”s very different in tone to his legal thrillers . . . Grisham knows what he”s doing
Review quote:
A classic tale of good against evil
