John Grisham with David Baldacci

In The French Illusion, John Grisham—the author of more than fifty consecutive #1 New York Times bestsellers—delivers a gripping page-turner about a honeymoon gone horribly wrong and the nightmare that follows. After Paul and Chelsea Tanner’s fairytale wedding, their future is full of promise. But their honeymoon to Paris takes a dark, shocking turn when they are kidnapped while on a day trip to the French countryside. Who would target them, and why?

Struggling to find answers, a young lawyer is recruited to be the bait in an elaborate CIA operation. Propulsive and surprising, The French Illusion is an unmistakable Grisham thrill ride.

Grisham’s recent books include Framed, Camino Ghosts, and The Exchange: After the Firm. He has been honored with the Library of Congress Creative Achievement Award for Fiction.

Grisham will be in conversation with David Baldacci, a #1 New York Times bestselling author of more than fifty thriller and crime novels and seven YA novels. Baldacci is also the cofounder, along with his wife, of the Wish You Well Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting literacy efforts across the U.S.
