Camino Island

A daring, meticulously planned heist at Princeton University results in the theft of five priceless original manuscripts by F. Scott Fitzgerald. The literary world is thrown into disarray, and the FBI believes a prominent black market dealer, Bruce Cable, who runs a popular independent bookstore on Florida's idyllic Camino Island, may be involved. To infiltrate Cable's secretive circle and recover the irreplaceable documents, the FBI recruits Mercer Mann, a struggling young writer with a deep connection to the island and its literary heritage. Posing as a visiting scholar, Mercer is tasked with gaining Cable's trust, exploring his connections, and uncovering the truth behind the audacious crime. As she delves deeper into the captivating, sun-drenched world of Camino Island and its charismatic literary figures, Mercer finds herself entangled in a web of intrigue, dangerous secrets, and moral ambiguities, where the lines between her mission and her growing fascination with Cable and the stolen treasures begin to blur. Grisham delivers a compelling blend of suspense, literary mystery, and a vivid sense of place.
