#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A white-knuckle legal thriller that begins in a weedy lot on the outskirts of Memphis, when two boys watch a shiny Lincoln pull up to the curb. . . . “The desire to find out what happens next keeps the reader turning the pages. Grisham is an absolute master of the chase story.”—The Washington PostEleven-year-old Mark Sway and his younger brother were sharing a forbidden cigarette when a chance encounter with a suicidal lawyer left Mark knowing a bloody and explosive secret: the whereabouts of the most sought-after dead body in America. Now Mark is caught between a legal system gone mad and a mob killer desperate to cover up his crime. And his only ally is a woman named Reggie Love, who has been a lawyer for all of four years. Prosecutors are willing to break all the rules to make Mark talk. The mob will stop at nothing to keep him quiet. And Reggie will do anything to protect her client—even take a last, desperate gamble that could win Mark his freedom . . . or cost them both their lives.

"This is my favorite John Grisham novel. I loved the characters in this book...I felt as though I also had to protect Mark Sway from perile. Reggie Love is the all time amazing woman that comes to his defense. The story is intense and amazing. I loved every single page of it!"

"A read many many years ago. When I realized I was reading a novel again, all those same feels came back. What got me hooked on Grisham many many years ago."

"Another fun read, interesting case and story. The resolution could be predicted pretty early on, but the story is exciting. I'm not a fan of John Grisham's narrative. He uses a third person point of view that switches between characters, but the switches happen so often and without warning that it is really jarring and can be difficult to tell who's head we are in. There's even one time where the point of view switches in the same paragraph. That was very confusing. But a fun and quick read."
