«'Electrifying... carries the reader along one track (innocent man seeks exoneration) only to switch on to another (cat-and-mouse caper) halfway through with delicious, frictionless ease.'»
<i>The Guardian</i>
«No one can make the legal fraternity quite as exciting.»
West Australian
«another gratifying Grisham tale where David dances round Goliath and lands a knockout punch.»
South Coast Register
«A fascinating look at judicial corruption - an entirely convincing story and one of Grisham's best.»
Washington Post
«It may seem odd to describe a jigsaw as nail-biting, but that is precisely what John Grisham delivers.»
Daily Mail
«Hang on to your subpoenas, it's an exhilaratingly fast and dangerous ride.»
The Sunday Times
«No one does it better than Grisham»
Daily Telegraph

«Leaves one eager for more»
Spectator
«A master storyteller»
Huffington Post
«[T]his is not a story about a triumph or a miscarriage of courtroom justice. It's the more devious, surprising story of a smart man who gets even smarter once he spends five years honing his skills as a jailhouse lawyer -- and then expertly concocts an ingenious revenge scheme... Mr. Grisham writes with rekindled vigor here.»
