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 Fogletree just became number five. His body was found in the basement of a lakeside cabin he had built himself and frequently used on weekends. When he did not show up for a trial on Monday morning, his law clerks panicked, called the FBI, and in due course the agents found the crime scene. There was no forced entry, no struggle, just two dead bodies, Judge Fogletree and his young secretary. I did not know Judge Fogletree, but I know who killed him, and why. I am a lawyer, and I am in prison. It's a long story.… (més)

Another good story by Grisham ( )
  DawnRWilliams | Dec 14, 2023 |
Classic Grisham storytelling with a great twist at the end. And while I don't think it's the greatest of all his novels, it's surely one worth reading. Glad that it lacks the violence I see in so many suspense stories and if done right, would make a good film. ( )

Good Book, I got Bored later on to some extent. ( )

I am a big fan of Grisham, but I was not a big fan of this book. It was okay, but not one of his best, in my opinion. I found it hard to like the main character because frankly he isn't really a good person. I couldn't root for him. I felt the book took a while to develop, and then when it started to take off, suddenly it was over. If you have never read Grisham, I would not suggest starting with this one. Give it a try if you are already a fan and want to see him delving out of his comfort zone a bit. ( )

Grisham’s novel has been hanging around the best-seller lists for a few weeks now. It’s easy to see why. Grisham is the master of the school of telling the readers what happens rather than showing them, and there’s a huge market for that kind of thing.

In the new book, an Afro-American lawyer is sentenced to prison for a white collar crime he didn’t commit. He sets out to get even with the FBI, the prosecutors and everybody else who locked him up. In ways that might baffle even the Perry Masons of the world, the jailed lawyer succeeds.
