Overview

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - "A delightfully lighthearted caper . . . a] fast-moving, entertaining tale."--Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

A gang of thieves stage a daring heist from a vault deep below Princeton University's Firestone Library. Their loot is priceless, impossible to resist.

Bruce Cable owns a popular bookstore in the sleepy resort town of Santa Rosa on Camino Island in Florida. He makes his real money, though, as a prominent dealer in rare books. Very few people know that he occasionally dabbles in unsavory ventures.

Mercer Mann is a young novelist with a severe case of writer's block who has recently been laid off from her teaching position. She is approached by an elegant, mysterious woman working for an even more mysterious company. A generous monetary offer convinces Mercer to go undercover and infiltrate Cable's circle of literary friends, to get close to the ringleader, to discover his secrets.

But soon Mercer learns far too much, and there's trouble in paradise--as only John Grisham can deliver it.

Praise for Camino Island

"Fans will thrill with the classic chase and satisfying ending; and book lovers will wallow in ecstasy."--The Florida Times-Union

  • Good Read

    Jarod P. - 5 years 11 months ago

    Really good book. Slight departure from his customary genre but his writing is excellent as always.

  • Camino Island

    Dolores M. - 6 years ago

    It was engaging! It was a refreshing change from Grisham's usual lawyer stories. I really enjoyed it!

  • Great title for this book.

    HPB S. - 6 years ago

    Very interesting read. Told a good story very well!

  • A Fun Fictional Summer Read For Fans Of Books On Books!

    Brian Q. - 6 years ago

    A very good summer read for fans of books on books (and booksellers / book collectors / bibliophiles) like me! This is my 2nd reading of this particular title; I wanted a quick refresher before reading the recently released sequel, CAMINO WINDS, and I believe I enjoyed CAMINO ISLAND more the second time around. Grisham weaves a quick-paced, interesting story and I hope it can continue on into a potential trilogy (or series)! #SummerReading

  • Grisham doesn’t disappoint!

    SHARON H. - 6 years ago

    You can’t go wrong with Grisham! He provides enough details to keep it interesting but not too many to get bogged down. Another good read! #SummerReading
