Author John Grisham has sold nearly 300 million books worldwide. His novels have been translated into nearly 50 languages and nine have been made into movies.

John Grisham’s latest novel, his 30th, departs from the author’s usual legal thriller genre in a few ways. For one, the main character isn’t a lawyer.

In Camino Island, Grisham writes about a struggling young author who moves to a sleepy resort town in Florida. It’s the story of a rare books dealer, a daring literary crime and a young, female writer who tries to catch a thief.
