not Lies or Grisham.
I believe most readers will know the author, he has written over a dozen books...

I was thinking Gore Vidal but he has written more than ten novels.
You say historical/biographical - would the subject be a political figure? Military figure?

If we're talking American, does that mean it has something to do with Native Americans?

I remember reading it as an undergraduate---extremely disturbing, and one of those books that makes you ashamed of your own country and some of its very ugly history.
Ok, let's shift gears. I am a work of fiction.
