#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Once he was a well-liked, well-paid young partner in a thriving Mississippi law firm. Then he stole ninety million dollars from his own firm—and ran for his life.

“One terrific book—smart, fast, stingingly satiric, and almost criminally entertaining.”—Entertainment Weekly

For four years Patrick Lanigan evaded men who were rich and powerful, and who would stop at nothing to find him. Then, inevitably, on the edge of the Brazilian jungle, they finally tracked him down.

Now Patrick is coming home. And in the Mississippi city where it all began, an extraordinary trial is about to begin. As prosecutors circle like sharks, as Patrick’s lawyer prepares his defense, as Patrick’s lover prays for his deliverance and his former partners wait for their revenge, another story is about to emerge. Because Patrick Lanigan, the most reviled white-collar criminal of his time, knows something that no one else in the world knows. He knows the truth. Espionage Legal Spies & Politics Thriller & Suspense

Critics' reviews

“One terrific book—smart, fast, stingingly satiric, and almost criminally entertaining.”—Entertainment Weekly

“An irresistible read . . . packed with surprises.”—People

“Brilliant . . . John Grisham may well be the best American storyteller writing today.”—The Philadelphia Inquirer

“Masterfully paced and plotted . . . [Each of Grisham’s books] should bear a warning to consumers: ‘Detrimental to sleep. You may read all night.’ ”—The Atlanta Constitution

The story is very interesting and since a was hearing it in stages, I always looked forward to continue listening to it.
but
the last twist in the end, is very questionable and in my opinion a storyhole.

The reader is very understandable und very multifaceted concerning the characters...
but
almost every other sentence he emphasis the end of the sentence in a certain way, which got on my nerves after a third of the book.

Very interesting story, with a questionable end;

Beginning was slow and brutal. Middle was great. Ending not in line with the characters. That ruined it for me.

Great book until the last 5 minutes

Großartige Story vom Anfang bis zum Ende, spannend, unterhaltsam mit sympathischen Charakteren. Der Sprecher ist brillant. Den Südstaatenakzent hätte ich nicht unbedingt gebraucht, dennoch ein Genuss. Klare Empfehlung!

Tolle Geschichte großartig gelesen
