I was married on July 20th, 2007. We went to Cabo for our honeymoon and I picked up a book that I knew I would like, John Grisham's "The Partner". His style of writing is consistent and I enjoy the twists and turns in his books.
This book is about Patrick Lanigan who is a partner in a law firm in Biloxi, Mississippi. Lanigan was killed in a fiery car crash. He is burned beyond recognition, and his remains are cremated and then buried. But when several weeks later, 90 million dollars goes missing from his law firm, Patrick becomes the chief suspect. Four and a half years later, Patrick is discovered living in Brazil, and is captured and tortured by some disreputable characters who are working on behalf of the companies that were bilked of their millions, including two insurance companies. Patrick does have the money, although he doesn't know the exact location of it. But he also knows a terribly powerful secret that can bring many people crashing down if the information was to be made public. The Partner becomes a literary game of chess as Patrick uses this information while bargaining with the FBI, the Justice Department and Harrison County Law Enforcement.
"The Partner" is a great read and I enjoy them because he can see the movie while reading it. The book comes to life and the twists and turns were just right. This is a great summer read because it doesn't require lots of thought, just pure entertainment.
Let me know if you have read this book and what you think.
Cheers
