I was strolling in the airport when I could not help but to get into a book store. My eyes fall on the latest book by Grisham and how can a Grisham fan resist that after The Innocent Man and The Appeal. I buy the book immedietely, read it through my flight and also the night. Now I am through with the book and what can I say . The master of law thrillers is back with another law thriller and all I can say is WOW!!! Grisham is certainly back to his "The Firm" days.
Now the story. Without revealing too much. It's about this young law school grad Kyle who hates big firm business where he feels no real "People" are ever handled and has promised himself that he would get to community service.But something in his past leads him to the door of the biggest law firm. A secret he wants to hide. A secret he wants no one including his dad to know. When a proffesional "Handler" Bennie threatnes Kyle with it, which could destroy his life, his career, everything; Kyle agrees to do the impossible -SPY to get details of a secret project which now is a case involving the Pentagon, the US Government, two big law firms, a technology and potentially others too. What does Kyle do? Does he get out of the mess or do thugs get info about the greatest project in military avaiation.
John Grisham like he usually does, has filled the story with a huge number of twists and turns very reminiscent of his older books. Lovely story telling and also a lot of details about how big law firms work. I only think he misses the plot in the end somewhere, else it would have been master class. A very quick narrative, with amazingly etched side characters especially that of Baxter. Grisham keeps us to the edge of our seats into an ending which could have been better. I would still give him a 4/5. Not his best but a good one still.
