In a weedy lot on the outskirts of Memphis, two boys watch a shiny Lincoln pull up to the curb...Eleven-year-old Mark Sway and his younger brother were sharing a forbidden cigarette when a chance encounter with a suicidal lawyer left Mark knowing a bloody and explosive secret: the whereabouts of the most sought-after dead body in America.
Now Mark is caught between a legal system gone mad and a mob killer desperate to cover up his crime. And his only ally is a woman named Reggie Love, who has been a lawyer for all of four years.
Prosecutors are willing to break all the rules to make Mark talk. The mob will stop at nothing to keep him quiet. And Reggie will do anything to protect her client --even take a last, desperate gamble that could win Mark his freedom... or cost them both their lives.

This is my first John Grisham book and I can see what all the hype is about.
His style of writing is trully interesting and entertaining. I thought the use of the different points of view was ingenious, quite the page-turner. I think that's why I reached to the middle of the book on the first day of reading.
That being said, by the second half of book, I felt like the story started to drag on. The dialogues and the situations seemed to be the same as in the first half and the book felt repetitive.
I thought the book was a very interesting read and got a sense of Grisham's writing style, which I found quite amusing.
