An eleven-year old has discovered a secret that not even an adult should know.

A US State Senator is dead, and Mark Sway is the only one who knows where the body is hidden.

The FBI want him to tell them where it is at whatever the cost to Mark and his family.

The killer wants him silenced forever.

Reggie Love has been practicing law for less than five years. Only she can save Mark from these twin threats. Together they must take on the might of the State and the wiles of a cold-blooded killer.

It's amazing to me that with John Grisham's popularity I've never actually read one of his books! The members of my book list seem to all be fans, and since I loved the movie, I decided to buy a second hand copy of The Client from Amazon's Marketplace. It was only 40p, so if it sucks I've not really lost anything. I'm curious to find out if his writing style is pleasing and interesting to read.
