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.

“Brilliant . . . John Grisham may well be the best American storyteller writing today.”—The Philadelphia Inquirer

“Masterfully paced and plotted . . . [Each of Grisham’s books] should bear a warning to consumers: ‘Detrimental to sleep. You may read all night.’ ”The Atlanta Constitution
