Camino Ghosts

In "Camino Ghosts," #1 New York Times bestselling author John Grisham returns to the sun-drenched shores of Camino Island, where bookseller Bruce Cable and novelist Mercer Mann find themselves embroiled in a high-stakes battle. Following her wedding to Thomas, Mercer is presented with an incredible story by Bruce, perfect for her next novel. The narrative centers on Dark Isle, a small barrier island with a rich history, settled by freed slaves three centuries ago. Its last descendant, the elderly Lovely Jackson, was forced to leave in 1955 but holds a deep connection to her ancestral home. Now, a ruthless corporate developer, Tidal Breeze, plans to construct a resort and casino on the island, which Lovely believes is rightfully hers. Mercer befriends Lovely, joining her in a formidable fight against the corporation, its lawyers, and powerful politicians. However, Lovely harbors a secret: Dark Isle is said to be cursed, remaining uninhabited for nearly a century due to unsettling reasons. As the secrets of the past collide with present-day ambition, the fate of Dark Isle – and potentially Camino Island – hangs precariously in the balance.
