About this ebook
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Every jury has a leader, and the verdict belongs to them.
They are at the center of a multimillion-dollar legal hurricane: twelve men and women who have been investigated, watched, manipulated, and harassed by high-priced lawyers and consultants who will stop at nothing to secure a verdict. Now the jury must make a decision in the most explosive civil trial of the century, a precedent-setting lawsuit against a giant tobacco company. But only a handful of people know the truth: that this jury has a leader, and the verdict belongs to him.
He is known only as Juror #2. But he has a name, a past, and he has planned his every move with the help of a beautiful woman on the outside. Now, while a corporate empire hangs in the balance, while a grieving family waits, and while lawyers are plunged into a battle for their careers, the truth about Juror #2 is about to explode in a cross fire of greed and corruption—and with justice fighting for its life.
Don’t miss John Grisham’s new book, THE EXCHANGE: AFTER THE FIRM!

An excellent book.John creates a terrific level of suspense.One adventure lead to another.Every page full of mystries,forces you to flip and read the next one.It is one of the book that you regret having being finish.I could not stop myself from fliping and reading and reading.
This is the first book i have read of John Grisham,and after reading it i am a great fan of his.I have bought six other books by him:The Firm,The Testament,The chamber,The pelican Brief,A time to kill,The street Lawyer.
I wish there notorius chacters like Fitch and Marley.

Another great legal thriller by Grisham. Like all of his other books I've read, I thought I had it all figured out but I was totally wrong. Very unexpected ending. Excellent read!
