Συγγραφέας

Ο Τζον Γκρίσαμ γεννήθηκε στο Αρκάνσας το 1955· είναι απόφοιτος του Πανεπιστημίου του Μισισιπή και της Νομικής Σχολής του Ολ Μις, αλλά εγκατέλειψε νωρίς τη δικηγορία για να ασχοληθεί αποκλειστικά με τη συγγραφή. Αυτή η μεταστροφή του έχει μέχρι σήμερα αποδώσει τα περίφημα δικαστικά θρίλερ "Η ετυμηγορία", "Η εταιρεία", "Κωδικό όνομα Πελεκάνος", "Ο πελάτης", "Θάλαμος αερίων", "Ο βροχοποιός", "Οι ένορκοι", "Ο συνέταιρος", "Ο δικηγόρος των δρόμων", "Η διαθήκη" και "Η αδελφότητα". Τα βιβλία του, που όλα χωρίς εξαίρεση ανέβηκαν στην πρώτη θέση στις λίστες των μπεστ σέλερ των ΗΠΑ και 8 άλλων χωρών, έχουν μεταφραστεί σε 34 γλώσσες και έχουν πουλήσει συνολικά περισσότερα από 110.000.000 αντίτυπα. Οχτώ από αυτά μεταφέρθηκαν με μεγάλη επιτυχία στον κινηματογράφο. Ο συγγραφέας ζει με τη σύζυγό του Ρενέ και τα δύο τους παιδιά σ' ένα αγρόκτημα στο Όξφορντ του Μισισιπή, ενώ περνά αρκετό χρόνο και στη Σάρλοτσβιλ της Βιρτζίνια.
