The Appeal by John Grisham
The Appeal by John Grisham, read by Michael Beck, is not a challenging work of fiction but the novel marks Grisham's long-awaited return to both the American South and legal drama. The book begins with a verdict after a lengthy trial between the cancer-stricken citizens of a small Mississippi town and the chemical company accused of poisoning their water supply. The real drama is only starting and Wall Street heavyweight Carl Trudeau is determined to reverse the decision against his company through an appeal to the Mississippi Supreme Court. Dirty politics abound and the plot to plant a corrupt justice to reverse the verdict is underway.

Turning Angel by Greg Iles
Greg Iles is another author that has been writing for a long time that I am now getting around to during my summer reading and listening “vacation.” I had a difficult time picking a category for this book, indeed it has elements of a standard mystery/crime novel as well as a legal thriller, and a police procedural. I will leave it up to you as to which it is and it really doesn’t matter since it succeeds on all levels.
Lawyer Penn Gage makes a repeat appearance in Turning Angel a story of love, betrayal, drugs, crime, politics and race. Iles paints a vivid picture of life in Natchez, Mississippi, a town struggling to stay alive as the South changes. Gage, who had a heroic turn in The Quiet Game is faced with a quandary when a childhood friend, Drew Elliott, comes to him for help when a high school girl is brutally murdered. Once the girl’s body is discovered the political, racial and social conflicts that run deep in Natchez test Penn Gage’s standing in the tight-knit community as he stands by Elliott.
