Best-selling mystery writer John Grisham will deliver the commencement address at the University of North Carolina spring graduation.
The university said Tuesday that a group of students and faculty selected Grisham to speak at the May 9 ceremony.
Grisham is the author of more than 20 books, including thrillers like ``A Time to Kill'' and ``The Client.'' Nine have been made into movies. His latest book is his first collection of short fiction, called ``Ford County.'' It was published earlier this month.
Next month's speaker for the Chapel Hill university's December commencement is Dr. Lisa Carey, the medical director of the UNC Breast Center.
