The Partner: A gripping crime thriller from the Sunday Times bestselling author of mystery and suspense

Product Information

Kidnappings were all too common in the Frontier.Americans were easy targets. But why him?Danilo asked himself this as his head wobbled and his eyes closed.He smiled as he fell through space, dodging comets and meteors, grabbing at moons and grinning through entire galaxies. There was instantly a plan to enter his home and catalog everything.There had to be records.The money had to be tended to.Guy dreamed of finding bank statements, wire transfer reports, account summaries; all sorts of documents arranged in a neat portfolio which would lead him directly to the money. The plot unravels at a pace where maybe you won't have much sleep tonight or the next until you finish it. The brain to create this crime and the work it took was pretty amazing. Grisham also shows the disappointing angle of the justice system but we all know justice is all in who you know and that money talks. They found him alone, as best they could tell, though a maid came and went at odd hours during the eight days they hid and watched.

Grisham fans will not despair as they discover that this finely wrought tale includes no lawyers. Instead, the author presents an evocation of the life of a young boy growing up on a Southern farm Continue reading »Well, John Grisham has done it again. Talk about partners in crime on so many levels! I was shaking my head in utter surprise and disbelief through each chapter. Grisham did not disappoint. This is not one of the best Grisham books, but there is enough suspense and drama to make it worth reading. I don't think it has been made into a movie yet although there may be a TV series pending... It's not a courtroom drama but more about how the protagonist uses the system & legal maneuvers to get himself out of trouble. Danny Boy snored heavily as prints were made of all eight fingers and both thumbs.The Americans and the Brazilians crowded around, watching every move. There was unopened whiskey in a box by the door, just in case this was the real Danny Boy.

Don’t speak," came the reply from Osmar, in English.The Brazilian to Danilo’s left removed a syringe from a small metal box and deftly filled it with a potent liquid.Osmar pulled Danilo’s wrists tightly toward him while the other man jabbed the needle into his upper arm.He stiffened and jerked, then realized it was hopeless.He actually relaxed as the last of the drug entered his body.His breathing slowed; his head began to wobble.When his chin hit his chest, Osmar gently, with his right index finger, raised the shorts on Danilo’s right leg, and found exactly what he expected to find.Pale skin.I love Grisham’s writing style. I was engaged all the way through. There was good action and a lot of suspense. By the end I was amazed, impressed, and intrigued with all the planning, strategizing, and how things worked out. It may not be believable but it was fun. Then the ending was frustrating and unhappy. I WANT HAPPY ENDINGS. Unfortunately that was my only problem with the book. I loved the experience. The only thing positive about the end was that it was thought provoking. I had to tell myself yes I could see that. But it’s not a story I want to hear. I normally would give this book a below average rating due to the ending, but because the rest was so good, I compromised at 3 stars. For someone who would enjoy smart-thinking, out-thinking others, and a good suspenseful read, go ahead. Trecutul insa ii bate in mod insistent la usa deoarece fostii sai parteneri influenti socotesc ca nu e de prisos sa mai cheltuiasca niste milioane in plus pentru a-l gasi.
