Critics Review

A master of plotting and pacing … suspenseful * New York Times *A new Grisham legal thriller is always an event, but this one is exceptional as the author is returning to Jake Brigance, the hero of his very first book, A Time To Kill … There is a lot of Grisham in Brigance - they were both street lawyers on the side of the people, not big corporations. It gives the book an emotional core that burns with a white heat * Daily Mail *Classic Grisham * Irish Examiner *Grisham, as always, delivers legal suspense in spades * Irish Independent *Grisham has the knack of lighting a slow-burning fuse that has readers gasping for the coming big bang of courthouse fireworks * Peterborough Telegraph *
