Annotation
From the master of courtroom drama comes the ultimate in suspense -- The Partner, John Grisham's new spellbinding novel.
From the Publisher
They watched Danilo Silva for days before they finally grabbed him. He was living alone, a quiet life on a shady street in a small town 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.

There was a group of book people in the hotel while we were here for a visit. I somehow don't think they were librarians. I picked this up to read when I found it by the elevator. The book I brought was really crummy and Grisham is pretty reliable. I left it in the hotel when we left to go back to Nova Scotia.
