Book Description

April 1999
Espiaron cada uno de sus movimientos
hasta obtener la seguridad
absoluta de que era él. Se
hacía llamar Danilo Silva y vivía
en una modesta casa de una ciudad
pequeña de Brasil. Pesaba
mucho menos e incluso su cara
era levemente distinta, gracias a
la intervención de un cirujano.
Al parecer, vivía solo. Es decir,
nada que ver con aquel abogado
de Biloxi llamado Patrick Lanigan
que, cuatro años antes,
había desaparecido con noventa
millones de dólares dejando
atrás a su hermosa mujer y a su
adorable hija. Pero ellos estaban
convencidos de que Danilo Silva
era Lanigan. Y de que con su
captura pondrían fin a aquella
historia. Grave error: la historia
acababa de empezar.

5.0 out of 5 stars Running away, April 5, 2000
Running away, escaping. That's what this book is about. Contrary to his regular way of writing, this book starts at the end: the main character, Patrick Flanigan, his being caught after four years in hiding.

A lawyer, Flanigan had planned everything: he faked his death, had facial surgery. He left with around 90 millions and fled for Brazil. Of course, the money wasn't his, and after four years, his old "socios" catch up with him... Now troubles begin.

I can not tell you the end, but one thing for sure: Grisham brings a new twist to this story that is a refreshment from his classic work. In this book Grisham reminds me more of Ludlum than of Grisham: No emotion. Action. Mystery. Twists and turns.

A really good book: I stayed up all night to finish it. And the translation in Spanish is not bad, either.

2.0 out of 5 stars Kind of interesting but definitely not Grisham best, July 20, 2009
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
As usual, the legal manoeverings and the detective work are interesting, and the dialogue is vivid and at times witty. The novel is also free from the vast padding that mars some of Grisham's novels. There is also a nice surprise ending. But the plot has essential elements that are preposterously implausible and the result is just a so-so novel.
