Grisham has returned to the place closest to his heart... The trial is riveting...it's striking how suspenseful the story is...how much we're gripped by the small details.-Sarah Lyall, The New York Times "Textbook Grisham--and that's a compliment...a briskly paced legal drama, with just the right amount of suspense, conflict, plot twists, and courtroom theatrics."--St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
