A Short Story Prequel to The French Illusion

In this original prequel to his upcoming thriller, The French Illusion, #1 New York Times bestselling author John Grisham introduces his next unforgettable hero in a moving story of family, ambition, and the pursuit of justice.

As a college football player in small-town North Carolina, Stuart Nash has always followed the path others expected him to take. But one life-changing decision—and one family’s heartbreaking struggle for justice—sets him on the road to law school and the legal career that will shape his future. A compelling origin story, this e-short marks the beginning of the journey that leads to The French Illusion.
