Camino Ghosts by John Grisham

John Grisham returns to Camino Island with another irresistible tale of mystery, greed, and the ghosts that haunt a small Florida barrier island. In this captivating legal thriller, the past refuses to stay buried, and the fight for a pristine stretch of beach becomes a battle against powerful forces determined to reshape paradise.

When a mysterious death on Camino Island uncovers long-hidden secrets, beloved bookseller Bruce Cable finds himself drawn into a web of intrigue that spans decades. Grisham masterfully weaves together multiple timelines, revealing how the island’s colorful history—complete with rumors of buried treasure and unsettled spirits—collides with present-day developers who’ll stop at nothing to claim valuable beachfront property.

What makes this story shine is Grisham’s deep affection for the setting itself. You can practically feel the salt air and hear the waves as you turn each page. The author brings his signature legal expertise to questions of property rights, environmental protection, and the lengths people will go to protect what they love.

Camino Ghosts is perfect for anyone who loved Camino Island and Camino Winds, but it also stands beautifully on its own. Whether you’re curled up in our shop on a foggy morning or reading by the ocean on a sunny afternoon, this is the kind of book that makes you want to linger over every chapter. Grisham proves once again why he’s America’s favorite storyteller.
