Rosemary’s Baby takes place in New York and The Tenant is set in Paris, but the trilogy begins with 1965’s Repulsion, where the city in question is London.

John Grisham had two careers before becoming one of the best-selling novelists in American history – first as a trial lawyer, and then as a member of the Mississippi House of Representatives. His intimate knowledge of the law and of the South helped power his remarkable writing career, which began in 1989 with A Time to Kill. There have been nearly 50 bestsellers since then, between them shifting over 300 million copies.
