Camino IslandJohn Grisham $34.99 TPB

The sensational new thriller from bestselling author John Grisham involves the most daring and devastating heist in literary history and a high security vault located deep beneath Princeton University.

Now she is being made an offer she can’t refuse: to return to the peace of the island, to write her novel - and get close to a certain infamous bookseller, and his interesting collection of manuscripts…
