I just read my first John Grisham book since The Brethern. It was The Appeal. Not bad - interesting premise. A jury awards a huge verdict against a company that had been polluting the water and causing a high rate of cancer in an area. Some corporate heavyweights conspire to buy a seat on the state of Mississippi's Supreme Court. They pluck an unknown candidate and use their corporate, hidden money to run an aggressive campaign, with the main agenda to end punitive jury awards and reverse the initial verdict.

I still have to read the 2008 Grisham book (name escapes me) that Yogi B. recommended.
