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.

Patrick Lanigan, a lawyer with a crumbling marriage and shifty partners who are planning to fire him, wants out. So he fakes is own death, steals $90 million from his former law firm, and disappears. Five years later, he gets caught...
One of Grisham's best novels for the sheer excitement of the fast-moving plot. Great pleasure reading.

Easy read and very enjoyable. Hard to put down because you had to know what would happen next. And the ending is something I never would have expected.
Helpful Score: 2
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.

Probably the BEST Grisham book ever
Helpful Score: 1
This is my all-time favorite book by John Grisham. He could almost do a prequel to The Partner, because it starts out after the main character has already stolen the $90 million and has been living in Brazil in relative comfort for many months. The book pokes fun at lawyers, judges, the media, the FBI, pretty much anyone who has anything to do with the plot. I LOVE IT!

This is my favorite Grisham book. I don't particularly love the ending, but all in all this is the best the man has to offer. I love the plot, the characters, the chase, the intelligence, its all great. Yeah The Firm is great, and yes, I love most of his others too, but this is my personal favorite and I highly recommend it.

Great book... fast-paced, suspenseful, Grisholm at his best.
Twisty plots make for interesting reading.
Pretty good for a Grisham and I like all of Grisham's lawyer books.
one more great suspense novel by the master
Totally enjoyed this book. The amount of detail was perfect - not overbearing where you want to skip whole pages - not so light that you feel like you're missing something. Wonderful character development, the plot weaves in and out with lots of twists.
An outstanding Grisham legal thriller. Intricate, clever, dramatic and entertaining. Will not disappoint established Grisham fans and will captivate new readers. A must read.
A quick paced page turner. John Grisham is always a good read.
I just finished this book and it was terrific. Lots of twists and turns in the plot line. It will keep you reading.
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.

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. I have a copy on my keeper shelf.
I loved this book--fast-paced, attention-grabbing, and a completely surprise ending!
Typical John Grisham! Always good.
Another Grisham effort...SOLID
It began when he disappeared but it didn't really start until they found him.
A dead man can't run for ever. They kidnapped him in a small town in Brazil. He had changed his name and his appearance, but they were sure thye had their man. Four years before, he had been called Patrick S Lanigan. He had died in a car crash in Feb 1992. His gravestone lay in a cemetery in Biloxi, Mississippi. He had been a partner at an up and coming law firm, had a pretty wife, a new daughter, and a bright future. Six weeks after his death, $90 million had disappeared from the law firm. It was then that his partners knew he was still alive.
Great book! Couldn't put it down. The 2nd I read of John Grisham and now I'm hooked!
A great listening experience. John Grisham has done it again
Taken from the back cover: 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 4 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..."
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.
Great read!
I have never read a John Grisham book but this was a great read and I will defiantly read him again! I am the type of person if the book doesn't grab me in the begging I wont Finnish it but this book grabs your attention the whole way through!
This is a good and exciting book to read. A shaky marriage, Job is about to get fire at the firm. Faking his own death and get away with 90 millions dollars. Get caugh after 5 years of running. Well plot and planning at the end. Although I didn;t like the end. I think the author own the character the story at the end. That why I think it did not make to the screen. Other wise, It is a good book, easy to read and follow.
The believability of this plot makes you want to read as much as possible in one sitting as possible. It seemed that with each page there was an unexpected twist and there were surprises throughout. This was a solidly written book that I enjoyed reading immensely.
The best of his books! I couldn't wait to get home from work to read more.
excellent book
Grisham does it again ... great book!
if you like grisham, you will love it!
Another great Grisham novel that takes you deep into both litigation and financial strategy. A great story that shows you how its really the lawyer the makes the difference in any case. Also on of those books that makes you think about what you would do if you had the same opportunity
Typical Grisham story. Good plot, but did not like the ending very much.
