About this ebook

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A white-knuckle legal thriller that begins in a weedy lot on the outskirts of Memphis, when two boys watch a shiny Lincoln pull up to the curb. . . .

“The desire to find out what happens next keeps the reader turning the pages. Grisham is an absolute master of the chase story.”—The Washington Post

Eleven-year-old Mark Sway and his younger brother were sharing a forbidden cigarette when a chance encounter with a suicidal lawyer left Mark knowing a bloody and explosive secret: the whereabouts of the most sought-after dead body in America.

Now Mark is caught between a legal system gone mad and a mob killer desperate to cover up his crime. And his only ally is a woman named Reggie Love, who has been a lawyer for all of four years.

Prosecutors are willing to break all the rules to make Mark talk. The mob will stop at nothing to keep him quiet. And Reggie will do anything to protect her client—even take a last, desperate gamble that could win Mark his freedom . . . or cost them both their lives.

Ratings and reviews

I must say I have been missing out! Fell in love, can't wait to read another

The Client by John Grisham This is yet another page turning thriller which is hard to put down. I have yet to read a poor Grisham novel. I just don’t think he is capable of writing gibberish. He is talented, imaginative, creative and his story writing never stops. How does he keep getting one great idea after another? Amazing.

Love all of his books read all but 2 still trying to find them all I can say is read u want put any of them down great great author keep making them john I promise I will keep reading.
