A child witnesses the suicide in Memphis of a lawyer that was defending a mob capo in New Orleans.
Before the lawyer dies, he confesses the child where the corpse of a U.S. senator is. And his troubles start. He has to decide whether telling the federal cops where the body is and be the target of a mafia killer or not talking and not only confronting a trial for contempt charges and obstruction of law but also let the killer go free.
The boy decides to hire a lawyer for advising him. And he finds a novice lawyer willing to help him.
During the plot, the boy grows mentally and he prefers to be in detention where he feels protected until everything is fixed up.
This is another novel based on the dilemma between collaborating with justice or being safe and not telling what you know just in case your life is in danger.
This is the second novel by John Grisham I review on my blog and I admit that his novels have caught me.
