Gripping, compelling and pacy, this exceptional thriller from international bestseller John Grisham is the perfect escapist read this summer. And somewhere on Nelson's computer is the manuscript of his new novel - could the key to the case be right there, in black and white? Bruce starts to look into it and what he finds between the lines is more shocking than any of Nelson's plot twists - and far more dangerous. Bruce begins to wonder if the shady characters in Nelson's novels were more fact than fiction. Who would want Nelson dead? The local police are overwhelmed with the aftermath of the storm and in no condition to handle the case. But evidence suggests that the storm wasn't the cause of Nelson's death - he had received several mysterious blows to the head. One of the victims is Nelson Kerr, a friend of Bruce's who wrote timely political thrillers. The hurricane is devastating: homes and condos are levelled, hotels and storefronts ruined, streets flooded, and a dozen people are killed. Amongst them is Bruce Cable, proprietor of Bay Books in downtown Santa Rosa. Most residents flee but a small group of diehards decide to ride it out.

Ken Tucker from The New York Times said that occasional flaws "don't impede the jolly appeal of the novel's storytelling". USA Today critic Jocelyn McClurg praised the book as "sheer catnip for book critics" that resembles Grisham's legal thrillers with many similar character types but that might appeal to people who are not generally Grisham fans. The book appeared at the top of several best seller lists including USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, and The New York Times. Publicity for the book included Grisham's first major book tour in 25 years, which included 12 cities and was scheduled from June 6 through June 29. In February 2017, Doubleday books announced that Grisham would publish a crime heist novel in June in addition to his usual fall legal thriller. Grisham conceived of the subject with his wife on a lengthy road trip to Florida when they discussed a work incorporating "stolen books, stolen manuscripts, bookstores, booksellers".
