  <default_description>Literary slugger John Grisham returns with a story about-- surprise!--a lawyer in trouble.  Patrick Lanigan had been a young partner in a prominent Southern law firm.  He had a beautiful wife, a new baby girl, and a bright future.  Then one winter night Patrick was trapped in a burning car; the casket they buried held nothing but ashes. &lt;P&gt; A short distance away, Patrick watched his own burial then fled. A fortune was stolen from his ex-firm's offshore account.  And Patrick ran, covering his tracks the whole way.  &lt;P&gt; But, now, they've found him.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[&quot;Poor John Grisham. He pretty much single-handedly creates a genre, achieves blockbuster status with only his second novel, and every further effort flies off the bookstore shelves and onto the movie screen. And then, when he writes yet another of his books, everyone bashes him for being boring...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/43968679">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[At mid way through the book I cannot put it down. This one is addicting, a great story that starts right out. More twists and turns than any Grisham book I've read. This goes down in my book as #1, and to beat The Street Lawyer, that's some accomplishment. <br/><br/>..I hope it's not like a few ot...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/58911527">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I would generally give a Grisham novel a 3 tops but this book was a page turner, I read it back in 1997 and I still remember almost all of it which is pretty odd for me. I have never understood why they have never made a movie out of this book. Of all the Grisham novels that I have read, this one is...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/78871750">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This was the first book I ever read by Grisham and it is what turned me on to his writing.  I love the adventures while still maintaining a &quot;professional&quot; atmosphere.
