Editorial Review:
Amazon.com Review:
Literary slugger John Grisham returns with a story about-- surprise!--a lawyer in trouble. Patrick Lanigan had been a young partner in a prominent Southern law firm. He had a beautiful wife, a new baby girl, and a bright future. Then one winter night Patrick was trapped in a burning car; the casket they buried held nothing but ashes.
A short distance away, Patrick watched his own burial then fled. A fortune was stolen from his ex-firm's offshore account. And Patrick ran, covering his tracks the whole way.
But, now, they've found him.
Product Description:
They watched Danilo Silva for days before they finally grabbed him. He was living alone, a quiet life on a shady street in Brazil; a simple life in a modest home, certainly not one of luxury. Certainly no evidence of the fortune they thought he had stolen. He was much thinner and his face had been altered. He spoke a different language, and spoke it very well.But Danilo had a past with many chapters. Four years earlier he had been Patrick Lanigan, a young partner in a prominent Biloxi law firm. He had a pretty wife, a new daughter, and a bright future. Then one cold winter night Patrick was trapped in a burning car and died a horrible death. When he was buried his casket held nothing more than his ashes.From a short distance away, Patrick watched his own burial. Then he fled. Six weeks later, a fortune was stolen from his ex-law firm's offshore account. And Patrick fled some more.But they found him.

- Thrilling and well writtenTook this one on vacation with me to Florida, it's one of those books you cannot put down. The opening six chapters or so are excellent (although the torture scenes were a little too much for me, so I speed read those!), and i absolutely love court room scenes, and Grisham is by far the king of those. This is perhaps my seventh Grisham novel, I think the guy keeps getting better and better, certainly this book has a more polished feel (perhaps he was writing with a movie in mind, but you never know). ...

Rating:
- Grisham's most entertaining in a while...AFTER JOHN GRISHAM'S FIRST 3 NOVELS, I THOUGHT HE COULD BECOME ONE OF THE GREATEST AUTHORS EVER. HE THEN WENT DOWN HILL AND COMPLETELY DISAPPOINTED ME, EVEN THOUGH I CONTINUED TO READ EACH NEW RELEASE. THE PARTNER WAS A TURNAROUND. AS WITH ALL HIS NOVELS IT MOVES VERY FAST AND KEPT MY ATTENTION. I LIKED THE STORY LINE MUCH BETTER, ALTHOUGH IT DID BECOME PREDICTABLE. THIS BOOK WAS GOOD, BUT COULD HAVE BEEN GREAT. THERE IS NOT A TON OF CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT BUT THE STORY WAS GREAT. A GOOD FAST READ.
Rating:
- An exhilirating readFast paced, highly entertaining, believable characters, good dialogue, well thought out story. Grisham has such a masterful mind. I enjoyed this book very much.
Rating:
- I didnt like the ending....I read this book with the usual anticipation I have for this author. The ending, however, threw me for a loop. I was quite disappointed in this "artsy" ending.
Rating:
- A bag full of surprisesThis great plot starts with a bang in the first chapter and does not let it go until the last word of the last one. As you approach the ending chapters the thing gets better and loose ends dragged along get revealed. It has great twists and turns masterly crafted to fit with the beginning of the story. Entertaining, gripping, intelligent and featuring a deep sense of humor it qualifies as a superb thriller, worthy to be included among the best I have ever read. It features no boring chapter. Great Job ... Read More
