John Ray Grisham Jr.
John Grisham é ex-político e advogado aposentado. Incentivado por sua mãe, desenvolveu cedo o hábito da leitura e se tornou um admirador das obras de John Steinbeck, prêmio Nobel de literatura em 1966. Escolheu o Direito como área de atuação, tornando-se advogado especializado em defesa criminal e processos por danos físicos. Escrevia nas horas em que o seu trabalho lhe permitia, e logo publicou seu primeiro livro, Tempo de Matar, em 1989. Seus livros giram sempre em torno de questões de advocacia, e geralmente criticam nuances do sistema judiciário americano e das grandes firmas de direito. Desde maio de 1998 a Universidade do Estado do Mississippi possui uma sala de leitura com o seu nome. Em 2006 figurou na Top 100 Celebrites da revista Forbes. Vive com sua esposa, Renée e suas duas crianças Ty e Shea. É o sexto escritor com mais livros vendidos na década de 2000, segundo a Nielsen BookScan, e também o sexto escritor mais lido nos Estados Unidos da América, segundo a Publishers Weekly.
