La polÃtica siempre ha sido un juego sucio. Ahora la justicia también lo es. Corrupción polÃtica, desastre ecológico, demandas judiciales millonarias y una poderosa empresa quÃmica condenada por contaminar el agua de la ciudad y provocar un aumento de casos de cáncer, y que no está dispuesta a cerrar sus instalaciones bajo ningún concepto. John Grisham, el gran mago del suspense, urde una intriga poderosa e hipnótica, en la que se reflejan algunas de las principales lacras que azotan a la sociedad actual: la manipulación de un sistema judicial que puede llegar ser más sucio que los crÃmenes que pretende castigar. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION In a crowded courtroom in Mississippi, a jury returns a shocking verdict against a chemical company accused of dumping toxic waste into a small town's water supply, causing the worst cancer cluster in history. The company appeals to the Mississippi Supreme Court, whose nine justices will one day either approve the verdict or reverse it. Who are the nine? How will they vote? Can one be replaced before the case is ultimately decided?
The chemical company is owned by a Wall Street predator named Carl Trudeau, and Mr. Trudeau is convinced the Court is not friendly enough. With judicial elections looming, he decides to try to purchase himself a seat on the Court. The cost is a few million dollars, a drop in the bucket for a billionaire like Mr. Trudeau. Through an intricate web of conspiracy and deceit, his political operatives recruit a young, unsuspecting candidate. They finance him, manipulate him, market him, and mold him into a potential Supreme Court justice. Their Supreme Court justice. The Appeal is a powerful, timely, and shocking story of political and legal intrigue, a story that will leave listeners unable to think about our electoral process or judicial system in quite the same way ever again.
