December 2004

December's roundup of New in Paperback titles features two of the world's most popular authors and an award-winning journalist who has written a captivating second novel. In John Grisham's THE LAST JUROR, a man vows revenge on the twelve people who convicted him of a brutal rape and murder. Jonathan Kellerman departs briefly from his protagonist Alex Delaware to introduce readers to a young psychologist who must follow the trail of a cunning psychopath in order to prove his innocence, in THE CONSPIRACY CLUB. And in THE DISTANCE FROM NORMANDY by Jonathan Hull, a World War II veteran and his grandson confront the painful events of the recent and more distant past.
