Synopsis:
|
Bestselling author John Grisham takes a break from his usual legal thrillers and has some fun with a comic novel about American football..in Italy. Rick Dockery is a failed NFL player who has one last chance for glory when he's offered a spot on an Italian football team. Despite not speaking a word of the language, Dockery relocates to Parma, Italy, where he finds himself fumbling through one misadventure after another. A light, playful novel, Grisham once again demonstrates that his imagination can indeed stretch outside of the courtroom.

Author Bio:
|
John Grisham woke up at 5:00 every morning for three years to complete his first novel, A TIME TO KILL. Working as a lawyer and a member of Mississippi's state legislature, Grisham published his debut thriller with a small and somewhat unknown publisher, receiving only local readership in his home state. He finally burst on to the national scene with his second novel, THE FIRM, a legal thriller that sold millions of copies and stayed on the New York Times best-seller list for 47 weeks. Shortly afterward, Grisham moved to Oxford, Mississippi, where he began working on a series of new legal thrillers, including THE PELICAN BRIEF and THE CLIENT, all of which became bestsellers and were subsequently made into successful films. Having graduated from Ole Miss with a law degree in 1981, Grisham went on to base his popular thrillers on his experience as a specialist in criminal defense. His once-unknown debut, A TIME TO KILL, was made into a major motion picture in 1996.
