Publisher's Summary

At the top of his class at Harvard Law, he had his choice of the best in America. He made a deadly mistake. When Mitch McDeere signed on with Bendini, Lambert & Locke of Memphis, he thought he and his beautiful wife, Abby, were on their way. The firm leased him a BMW, paid off his school loans, arranged a mortgage, and hired him a decorator. Mitch McDeere should have remembered what his brother Ray - doing 15 years in a Tennessee jail - already knew. You never get nothing for nothing. Now the FBI has the lowdown on Mitch's firm and needs his help. Mitch is caught between a rock and a hard place, with no choice - if he wants to live.

A must have

Once again this author just shines without fail.
Very quickly gets into an intriguing, unique aspect of the legal entities from an unthought of realm of intrigue, deception, intellectual smarts and arrogance.

Entertaining, but problematic

Entertaining, but not without its problems. The protagonist was almost too perfect/superhuman, and part of the story were just not believable. If you don't look too closely at that stuff though, it's still quite enjoyable.

The novel is better written than the Tom Cruises movie.

The final ending was a whimper. Almost seemed inconclusive. The movie version deviated a lot but to be fair was a bit more dramatic and satisfying as conclusion.

Amazing story and narration.

The movie did not do this one justice. Hard to put down especially the climax. Highly recommended.

Addictive Read

This was meant to be just a little book to get me through boring car journeys and tedious cardio, but I got so hooked I doubled my cardio time and started listening to it at home. Great story, I'll be getting another John Grisham book next!

Fantastic thriller

A classic to keep you on the edge of your seat. A fast passed but not ridiculous story which could almost be called a spy novel.

Really enjoyed this book.

A great yarn which could have lots of true sides to it. I enjoyed the almost constant tension.

Great Story

I enjoyed this story of Mitch and Abby. I wanted to hear the story after watching the mini series of the same name, that actually starts after this story.
