Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
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.
Amazon.com Review:
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 read this book with the usual anticipation I have for this author. The ending, however, threw me for a loop. I was quite disappointed in this "artsy" ending.

This great plot starts with a bang in the very first chapter and does not let it go until the last word of the last one. As you approach the ending chapters the thing gets better and loose ends dragged along get revealed. It has great twists and turns masterly crafted to fit with the beginning of the story. Entertaining, gripping, intelligent and featuring a deep sense of humour it qualifies as a superb thriller, worthy to be included among the best I have ever read. It features no boring chapter. Great Job Mr Grisham I liked it better than all of your other works

I enjoyed reading The Partner by John Grisham. Mr. Grisham is an addicting story teller and this book reminded me more of his earlier works. The story is fast and furious but easy to follow. It is hard to put down once you start and like other novels Mr Grisham has written it is disappointing when the story finally ends. You want to know more and more.
I would recommend the novel for those that enjoyed A Time to Kill and the Pelican Brief.

I'm a huge John Grisham fan and I've got to say, this is my favorite Grisham novel. It has all the legal wizardry and lovable/despicable characters that make you shake your head and laugh. But that's not all; this book has a plot that will twist your mind and an ending that will surprise you. -Stephen Prins, author of: Strife of the Lorin
