Camino Ghosts A Novel

A #1 New York Times Bestseller returns to sun-soaked Camino Island, where literary intrigue meets a centuries-old mystery that refuses to stay buried.

When beloved bookstore owner Bruce Cable approaches writer Mercer Mann with an irresistible story, neither could anticipate the whirlwind to follow. At the heart of the tale lies Dark Isle—a sliver of barrier island off the North Florida coast, settled by freed slaves three centuries ago and abandoned for nearly a hundred years. The last descendant, the formidable Lovely Jackson, holds the island’s secrets close, along with an unshakeable conviction: Dark Isle is rightfully hers.

But Tidal Breeze Corporation has other plans. This corporate giant wants to transform the island into a sprawling resort and casino, deploying an army of lawyers, lobbyists, and politicians to make it happen. What they don’t know is that Dark Isle carries something more powerful than property deeds—a curse that has kept the island uninhabited for decades.

Grisham weaves together past and present in this rollicking legal thriller, where Mercer and Lovely take on impossible odds to protect both history and heritage. The salty air of the Florida coast practically rises from the pages as corporate greed collides with supernatural mystery, and the fate of both Dark Isle and Camino Island hangs in the balance.

Perfect for readers who savor their legal drama with a twist of the uncanny and a generous helping of coastal charm. Camino Ghosts proves once again why Grisham remains the master of the page-turning thriller.
