I really enjoyed this. I had grown tired of the Grisham formula for awhile- and this book is enough of a departure that I did find it entertaining

I think this is one of Grisham's best. Not a "lawyer" book. Reads really fast.

Unlike all of the other Grisham books that I've read this one was NOT one that I just couldn't put down. It was a slow read, and at times I was frustrated by details that didn't bring the character or the story to life. Did pick up at the end and had a good twist.

This book is about a person that has possession of information about the powerful and influential. The story will take you to Italy as the character deals with uncertainty, enemies, and the art of hiding and seeking (spying). Truly a wonderful novel to let your mind wander off.
