  <default-description>In a weedy lot on the outskirts of Memphis, two&#160;&#160;boys watch a shiny Lincoln pull up to the&#160;&#160;curb...Eleven-year-old Mark Sway and his younger brother&#160;&#160;were sharing a forbidden cigarette when a chance&#160;&#160;encounter with a suicidal lawyer left Mark knowing&#160;&#160;a bloody and explosive secret: the whereabouts of&#160;&#160;the most sought-after dead body in America. Now Mark is caught&#160;&#160;between a legal system gone mad and a mob killer&#160;&#160;desperate to cover up his crime. And his only ally is&#160;&#160;a woman named Reggie Love, who has been a lawyer&#160;&#160;for all of four years. Prosecutors are&#160;&#160;willing to break all the rules to make Mark talk. The&#160;&#160;mob will stop at nothing to keep him quiet. And&#160;&#160;Reggie will do anything to protect her client --&#160;&#160;even take a last, desperate gamble that could win&#160;&#160;Mark his freedom... or cost them both their&#160;&#160;lives.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;From the Hardcover edition.&lt;/i&gt;</default-description>

I guess it is because Grisham writes about such power-hungry workaholic dudes who are just after wealth, but Scottoline writes about mainly female ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/62980049">more...</a>]]></body>

This is definitely one of those books that you can read before or after the movie and neither is ruined for you.

    <body><![CDATA[Greed, intrigue, and numerous parallel plot threads. Typical Grisham, and fairly engaging, but somehow it doesn't work quite as well as his other books.
