But then, he had died in a car accident.

Another pause while Stephano arranged his thoughts, a process that usually took milliseconds."The money?" There is not a lot to say about THE PARTNER. It is a legal thriller with pleasing (although not unexpected) twists. As far as books in that vein go it is a fine effort. The ending irritated me, but only because it was what I suspected might happen, and I did not want it to. However, in a cosmic justice sense, and in the world of human behavior it is probably perfectly appropriate. Osmar wanted to grab him.Guy said they’d wait.He vanished on the fourth day, and the dirty little cottage was in chaos for thirty-six hours.Cowan is writing the adaptation as part of his overall deal at Sony TV. He is executive producing with Davis Entertainment’s John Davis and John Fox as well as Grisham’s longtime rep David Gernert.

With barely suppressed excitement, Guy made his daily call to Washington.He actually closed his eyes and smiled when he uttered the words, "It’s him."His voice was an octave higher. Only the ending leaves you a bit disappointed & ruins what could have been a great reading experience. The perfect spot was two and a half miles from his house, over a small hill on a gravel road, not far from his turning-around point.Danilo topped the hill twenty minutes into his run, a few seconds ahead of schedule.He ran harder, for some reason.Probably the clouds.It's not a courtroom drama but more about how the protagonist uses the system & legal maneuvers to get himself out of trouble. I finished reading this book within 3 days, a gripping story which full of twists and the unexpected. Here’s my 5 cent review... I was impressed with this book even though it's a departure from the usual Grisham fare and I hope he decides to write a sequel to explain the maddening ending. Why did you read this book? 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. Now, who you may think is innocent and a victim throughout this story turned out to be guilty. The very person you thought was guilty was actually the person who is instrumental in putting a lot of people away on corruption charges, including former partners at his law firm and a U.S. Senator. Oh what a tangled web this story weaves.

They found him living a comfortable life but certainly not one of luxury.The house was modest and could’ve been owned by any local merchant.The car was a 1983 Volkswagen Beetle, manufactured in Sao Paulo with a million others.It was red and clean, polished to a shine.Their first photo of him was snapped as he waxed it just inside the gate to his short driveway. They watched Danilo Silva for days before they finally grabbed him. He was living alone, a quiet life on a shady street in Brazil; a simple life in a modest home, certainly not one of luxury. Certainly no evidence of the fortune they thought he had stolen. He was much thinner and his face had been altered. He spoke a different language, and spoke it very well. But Danilo had a past with many chapters.

The directions in the file were specific.On such alarms, do not call the police.Try first to locate Mr. Silva, and in the event he cannot be found at once, then call a number in Rio.Ask for Eva Miranda.
