Eleven year old Mark, after a traumatic altercation with a man hellbent on killing himself, knows the location of a murdered senator, information that only the mafia killer himself, knows! Mark, his young brother, his single-mum and their maverick woman lawyer not only have to navigate around the lethal intentions of the mafia, but the determined FBI and courts that are desperate for that information!
This is a remarkable commercial book in so many ways from the multi-faceted not-at-all-stereotypical characters through to such a well though out lead in the eleven year old, so well defining and balancing the vulnerability and the precociousness of a child that young! The story itself is an unrelenting siege on Mark and his family by people that want to either silence him or force him to testify. I am very much enjoying my first time journey into the worlds of Grisham so far. An 8 out of 12 Four Star read for me.

One of the novels I first read by John Grisham. I used to love his books, but I haven´t read them in a while.
Wonderful review, Baba! This was my very first John Grisham. I think I read it when I was 13 or 14. It was a chunky novel, but I loved it. Glad to see your 8 stars for it. :)

Wonderful review, Baba! Have you seen the movie adaptation, btw?
This is awesome, Baba! You are on a roll with great reads. ❤️
