#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “A delightfully lighthearted caper . . . [a] fast-moving, entertaining tale.”—Pittsburgh Post-Gazette A gang of thieves stage a daring heist from a vault deep below Princeton University’s Firestone Library. Their loot is priceless, impossible to resist. Bruce Cable owns a popular bookstore in the sleepy resort town of Santa Rosa on Camino Island in Florida. He makes his real money, though, as a prominent dealer in rare books. Very few people know that he occasionally dabbles in unsavory ventures. Mercer Mann is a young novelist with a severe case of writer’s block who has recently been laid off from her teaching position. She is approached by an elegant, mysterious woman working for an even more mysterious company. A generous monetary offer convinces Mercer to go undercover and infiltrate Cable’s circle of literary friends, to get close to the ringleader, to discover his secrets. Don’t miss John Grisham’s new book, THE EXCHANGE: AFTER THE FIRM!

Gave John Grisham another chance.
Not all too impressed. His stories are very slow and dull in my opinion. Enough of his work for me.
A great page turning from John Grisham like always. The characters are not that interesting, but there are loads of critiques and comments about the book publishing world that's beyond mildly interesting. One thing that's true to heart is that Carbondale, IL is not cold during the winter time! Eight inches of snow in Southern Illinois is almost impossible.
I thought this was a fantastically fun novel. Well plotted - and for God's sakes it's about the rare book trade. This cements me as a John Grisham fanboy!
