"Plans — nothing ever goes as planned, and the survivors are the ones who can adapt on the fly."
In Camino Island, John Grisham is back and true to form with a tale about an orchestrated heist and the rare books dealer who is caught in the middle. A gang of thieves stage a daring heist from a vault below Princeton University's Firestone Library. The star of Grisham's latest read is Bruce Cable, owner of a popular bookstore in a sleepy resort town in Camino Island. He makes his real money as a prominent dealer in rare books. Very few people know that he occasionally dabbles in the black market of stolen books and manuscripts. Grisham also introduces us to Mercer Mann, a young novelist with a severe case of writer's block, who is offered a job with a mysterious company that brings her into Bruce Gable's orbit of literary friends. A fast-paced read with a literary flair.
