Description

HE'S READY TO DO WHATEVER IT TAKES.

Spotted for his talent on the basketball court, Samuel Sooleymon is whisked away from his life in South Sudan to the United States to compete in a tournament of a lifetime: the opportunity to play and study at one of the best universities in the world is on the line.

It's the longest of long shots. Sooley has raw talent but is untrained and undisciplined. And there are hundreds of better-known players ahead of him.

But as his home descends into civil war, Sooley soon realises he isn't just playing for himself - but for the lives of the people he loves the most...

350+ million copies, 45 languages, 10 blockbuster films: JOHN GRISHAM IS THE MASTER OF THE LEGAL THRILLER

Reviews

Read it, you'll want to cry too * Bill Clinton for The Guardian *
The joy of a Grisham novel is turning the pages as the plot propels you forward . . . Suffice it to say SOOLEY follows the familiar Grisham playbook - short chapters, plenty of foreshadowing, and a rapid-fire prose that's easy to read and hard to put down * Independent *
