The Appeal (2008) is a legal thriller by American writer John Grisham. It follows a corporation that tries to reverse the court-ordered decision to pay millions of dollars to people who developed cancer after their company dumped toxins in the drinking water. Grisham said the immediate inspiration was the true story of a Mississippi Supreme Court Judge who accepted bribes and changed his decisions according to donor wishes. It is Grisham’s twentieth novel.
Its themes include conniving behavior, the rule of law, blatant corruption, and underhandedness.
The Appeal opens to a jury delivering a verdict for the case Baker V Krane Chemical. Months and months of exhaustive testimony and arguments have passed. The prosecution, Mary Grace and West Payton (owners of a husband-and-wife law firm) and the defendant, a high-powered attorney named Jared Kurtin, rush back to the courtroom.
