The Partner is a riveting legal thriller about a brilliant lawyer who plans the biggest heist ever. When Patrick discovers his partners are preparing to fire him while they rake in millions of dollars in a carefully planned scam against the government, he flips the scales by faking his death and absconding with the money. Then he gets caught and tortured by hired thugs until the FBI scoops him up. But Patrick's problems are just beginning. Soon, multiple lawsuits are flying everywhere as Patrick tries to extricate himself. Mr. Grisham is known for his exceptional legal novels, and this one is no exception. It has a highly complex plot that gets resolved, except for the explosive plot twist at the end. Very entertaining. ( ) Partners is a short story prequel to Rogue Lawyer. I wasn’t sure which to read first so I took a chance and read Partners first. It’s an interesting story of a lawyer defending an innocent man. I hope it helps to have the back story of the relationship between Sebastian Rudd, the Rogue Lawyer, and this particular client. I guess I will find out soon! I’m moving onto Rogue Lawyer next! no reviews | add a review

HTML: 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. No library descriptions found. |
