Dark Isle is a small island off of Camino Island in Florida, and Lovely Jackson claims to own it. It started being inhabited over two hundred and fifty years ago, by African slaves, when a boat broke apart, heading to Georgia. When slaves would escape, they would make their way to the island, where all were welcome. A curse was even put on the island, that white men could not survive if they stepped foot on it. A developer wants the island from the state, who claim they own it, and now a legal fight is about to take place, Lovely has no proof she owns the island, she and her mother left in 1955. Local bookstore owner Bruce Cabot tells author Mercer Mann about this, and she plans to write a book, expanding on the book Lovely wrote. It becomes a battle of a big corporation, the state against Lovely and her lawyer, and people helping out with the case. This is another classic John Grisham novel, no one writes better courtroom battles than him. The story is one you don’t want to put down, a real page-turner (like most Grisham novels) and a perfect beach read this summer.
