About this listen
#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.

It’s summer in Memphis. The sweat is sticking to Rudy Baylor’s shirt and creditors are nipping at his heels. Once he had aspirations of breezing through law school and punching his ticket to the good life. Now he doesn’t have a job or a prayer—except for one: an insurance dispute that leaves a family devastated and opens the door for a lawsuit, if Rudy can find a way to file it. By the time Rudy gets to court, a heavyweight corporate defense team is there to meet him. And suddenly he’s in over his head, plunged into a nightmare of lies and legal maneuverings.

The incomparable master of the legal thriller takes us deeper into the labyrinth that is the American justice system, always drawing us in with an irresistible hook, pulling the thread of tension tighter and tighter, and then knocking us out with a conclusion that's never "by the book". Maybe that's why, after more than 20 years of consecutive number-one New York Times best sellers, a new novel by America's favorite storyteller is still a major publishing event.

It’s summer in Memphis. The sweat is sticking to Rudy Baylor’s shirt and creditors are nipping at his heels. Once he had aspirations of breezing through law school and punching his ticket to the good life. Now he doesn’t have a job or a prayer—except for one: an insurance dispute that leaves a family devastated and opens the door for a lawsuit, if Rudy can find a way to file it. By the time Rudy gets to court, a heavyweight corporate defense team is there to meet him. And suddenly he’s in over his head, plunged into a nightmare of lies and legal maneuverings.

Story
Mark, Todd, and Zola came to law school to change the world, to make it a better place. But now, as third-year students, these close friends realize they have been duped. They all borrowed heavily to attend a third-tier, for-profit law school so mediocre that its graduates rarely pass the bar exam, let alone get good jobs. And when they learn that their school is one of a chain owned by a shady New York hedge-fund operator who also happens to own a bank specializing in student loans, the three know they have been caught up in The Great Law School Scam.

Story
They call themselves the Brethren: three disgraced former judges doing time in a Florida federal prison. One was sent up for tax evasion. Another, for skimming bingo profits. And the third, for a career-ending drunken joyride. Meeting daily in the prison law library, taking exercise walks in their boxer shorts, these judges-turned-felons can reminisce about old court cases, dispense a little jailhouse justice, and contemplate where their lives went wrong.

Story
Given the importance of what they do, and the controversies that often surround them, and the violent people they sometimes confront, it is remarkable that in the history of this country only four active federal judges have been murdered. Judge Raymond Fawcett has just become number five.... Nothing is as it seems and everything’s fair game in this wickedly clever new novel from John Grisham, the undisputed master of the legal thriller.

Frank Muller is the narrator, not Michael Beck
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
This is a great story, but please give Frank Muller his due. His career ended tragically and his surviving narrations are noteworthy. He is, by far, the best suspenseful narrator I have ever heard. Ask Stephen King.

Loved it. Classic Grisham.
Any additional comments?
Good pace. Loved how the story unfolded. Thought the end was a little telegraphed, but really worked.

Excellent story, unfortunately the ending was awful.
I really loved this book for the most part. It sucks you in from the beginning and keeps you intrigued. The story flows quite nicely with the telling of Danilo/Patrick's story. At first I just kept wanting to know how the money came about and wether or not it was in fact dirty money. About half way through my questions were answered. Patrick was such a genius planning everything, however I never understood why he entrusted Eva with all of the money. I could understand the majority of it, however some of it he should have had in his name. Early on I suspected a double cross, however as the story progressed I became less and less certain and thought I was wrong. I liked Patrick and and that's why the ending made me so mad. I felt sorry for the poor man. His wife was nothing but a money hungry whore with a bad attitude, and her boy toy Lance was an idiot thug. She didn't deserve her good fortune that's for sure. The child, yes, but her no. Patrick's fellow partners in the firm were snotty crooks who believed they ruled the world. I would have ran away also. Patrick was a good guy who deserved better in my opinion. The narrator was excellent and did a fabulous job. I enjoyed listening to him. Though several times throughout the book I noticed that he repeated some lines. You get used to it but it's a tad aggravating. I definitely recommend this book. It's definitely a story you want to continuously listen to find out more of the Patrick story. Totally worth a credit and would have been five stars but the ending upset me.

5 stars until the ending
I loved this story - probably one of my favorite Graham books - until the ending. that didn't tie into the rest of the story.

Had me from the start
Another great book from Grisham. They are not all this good but this one I strongly recommend. The ending may have been an after thought and could have been done a little different but I can't say it could have ended any better. Two thumbs up on this one.

Good story but unfortunately the ending was too predictable. I was hoping I was wrong about the ending but I guessed it almost from the beginning.

Engaging story...
But if you are going to read regional stories you should learn to pronounce the names like the locals.
