Gray Mountain is a legal thriller novel by John Grisham, published in hardcover on October 23, 2014. The book is set in Appalachia after the Great Recession and follows third-year associate Samantha Kofer after the Bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers, when she becomes a legal clinic intern in Virginia's coal mining country.[1]
Notable facts
The novel describes the great danger to the environment posed by strip-mining for coal.
Grisham consulted with Mary Cromer, an attorney with the Appalachian Citizen's Law Center and a Washington and Lee University School of Law alumna, as research for the novel.[2] This is one of the few Grisham novels which feature a strong female protagonist (Samantha Kofer).[3] Scully & Pershing, the law firm Kofer is furloughed from in New York City,[4] is the same law firm that employed Kyle McAvoy in Grisham's novel The Associate (2009).[5]
