"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
