Grisham, John. The Partner

This would make one good movie.
A carefully crafted story of a lawyer, a partner who takes away ninety million payback money which his firm has hidden from him, gets a woman lawyer to stash it away, is caught by the gang, rescued by the FBI, made a prisoner, but walks away from it all, with a cleverly crafted legal escape. If you think there are too many twists in the tale to be handled by the reader, wait till you get to the last two pages. The shock is subtly imparted, but the senses reel from the powerful blow. Loved the final twist and all.
Racy, taut , impeccably plotted and filled with unexpected twists, the book made interesting reading.
And, just as you were wondering if it was all that easy to do what the hero does, Grisham deals the final blow. There is justice after all...you get what you sow.
