Book Description:
Once he was a well-liked, well-paid young partner in a thriving Mississippi law firm. Then Patrick Lanigan stole ninety million dollars from his own firm - and ran for his life. For four years, he evaded men who were rich, powerful, and would stop at nothing to find him. Then, inevitably, on the edge of the Brazilian jungle, they finally tracked him down.
Now Patrick is coming home. And in the Mississippi city where it all began, an extraordinary trial is about to begin. As prosecutors circle like sharks, as Patrick's lawyer prepares his defense, as Patrick's lover prays for his deliverance and his former partners wait for their revenge, another story is about to emerge. Because Patrick Lanigan, the most reviled white-collar criminal of his time, knows something that no one else in the world knows.
He knows the truth....

Again, Grisham uses a troubled/scheming lawyer in dramatic fashion. I truely enjoyed the story from cover to cover. I was somewhat disappointed in the ending, but every book cannot be exactly how we want it. If you are thinking of reading this book, it is an easy, enjoyable read.

wow, what a good story. I thought this was going to end with him actually coming out ahead of the game...nope. Wow, a guy steals 90 million bucks and buys his way out of jail. Excellent John Grisham read.

I am a big John Grisham fan and I love legal thrillers. This is again one of the good ones he has written. You will enjoy it if you are a Grisham fan also

A John Grisham novel is always a great read. This one has you rooting for the bad guy, or at least, I think he is the bad guy. It's John Grisham, what else can you say?

Patrick Lanigan stole ninety million dollars from his own firm, and ran for his life. Eventually he was caught.
Now Patrick is coming home to an extraordinary trial.
Prosecutors circle like sharks. Patrick's lawyer prepares a defense. Patrick's lover prays for a miracle. And Patrick's former partners wait for their revenge.
But another story is about to emerge. Patrick Lanigan knows something no one else in the world knows...
The Truth

Patrick Lanigan stole ninety million dollars from his firm but has been returned for trial. But is that the end of the story? Not, if you know John Grisham.

For four years Patricks wondered how it would fel if they caught him, now he wa terror stricken.
Beautifully unfolding plot and a neat premise. Not too much action after the start, but the developments keep coming on each page. Subtle and not so subtle twists throughout. Definitely a legal thriller, but the legalese isn't overwhelming.
3.5 stars out of 5

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.
I loved this book--fast-paced, attention-grabbing, and a completely surprise ending!
Just a wonderful suspense novel about lawyers, mafia, and suprises!
John Grisham doesn't write a bad book. This is exciting and fast-paced story that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
