2014br. Quando in una fredda mattina d'inverno uno sconosciuto si presenta nella sua parrocchia e chiede insistentemente di vederlo, il reverendo Keith Schroeder non può immaginare che quell'incontro cambierà la sua vita per sempre. L'uomo si chiama Travis Boyette, ha subito varie condanne per reati sessuali, è in libertà vigilata e sostiene di custodire da molti anni un terribile segreto che è deciso a confessare. Perché proprio adesso? Dice di avere un tumore incurabile al cervello e di volersi liberare dal peso che grava sulla sua coscienza. Con la sua testimonianza potrebbe scagionare Donté Drumm, un giovane di colore condannato a morte in una piccola città del Texas per l'omicidio di una ragazza bianca il cui corpo non è mai stato ritrovato. Boyette afferma di sapere chi è il vero assassino, ma non ha intenzione di rivelarlo a nessuno se non al reverendo Schroeder. Mancano quattro giorni all'esecuzione. Basteranno per salvare Donté, o almeno per una sospensione della condanna? "Io confesso" è un thriller dal ritmo teso che riconferma profondo interesse di John Grisham per i grandi temi sociali e di attualità, offrendo un'amara riflessione sul sistema giudiziario americano e soprattutto sulla pena di morte.

2021br. Dopo la morte dei nonni che l'hanno cresciuta, Evelyn arriva a Raven's Gap, con tutta la sua vita contenuta in una valigia e uno zaino. Per anni, ad Atlanta, è stata vittima di stalking, esperienza che l'ha segnata profondamente, e adesso vuole solo ricominciare una vita serena, in una piccola città dove la gente non sembra avere altro problema che affrontare il gelido inverno nevoso del Montana. Eppure, poco dopo l'arrivo di Evelyn, le donne della città cominciano a sparire senza lasciar traccia. Evelyn è certa che c'entri Jeff, un uomo che sembra ossessionato da lei; ma, proprio come le è successo ad Atlanta, nessuno le crede. Adesso Evelyn si trova nel mirino di un serial killer a caccia della preda perfetta. Ma questa volta non ha intenzione di diventare una vittima.

2016br. Sullo sfondo lacustre in provincia di Varese, tra natura, arte e storia della splendida Costa Fiorita, si riflette lo sterminio della famiglia Welner, avvenuto in Pennsylvania una ventina di anni prima. Ma non solo. La detective Teresa Leone, consulente della polizia di stato (la cui agenzia di investigazioni private si trova a Gemonio) e il suo braccio destro Rami Grondin, si ritrovano catapultati in un complesso intreccio di drammatici eventi. Aggressioni e omicidi si alternano sulla sponda lombarda del lago Maggiore. E nelle indagini, nazionali e internazionali, sono coinvolti - oltre all'ispettore capo della polizia di Varese, Luca Terenzi - FBI, CIA e SIS. Dal passato al presente, tra menzogne, false identità e folli discriminazioni, pian piano la storia si delinea nella sua crudezza. E solamente infine emerge in tutta chiarezza una realtà tanto amara quanto risolutiva per chiudere un caso rimasto aperto, con le sue propaggini, per troppo tempo.

2022br. Robert Langdon è a Firenze. Cosa decisamente normale per uno studioso come lui, esperto di simbologia e appassionato interprete del testo dantesco, che nel capoluogo toscano è di casa. Ma di "normale" questa volta sembra esserci ben poco. Il professore di Harvard, infatti, si sveglia in una stanza d'ospedale, stordito, sedato, ferito alla testa, gli abiti insanguinati. Ricorda a malapena come si chiama e non sa come è arrivato a Firenze. Sa solo che qualcuno ha cercato di ucciderlo, ma chi? E perché? Barcollante, la mente invasa da apparizioni mostruose della Morte Nera che flagellò l'Europa medievale e da simboli criptici connessi alla prima cantica della Commedia dantesca, Langdon si accorge di essere nel mirino di un'ambigua organizzazione, e sa che deve scappare. Da tutti. Ha una sola traccia per risolvere l'enigma che lo riguarda e salvarsi la vita: le terzine di Dante.
