The Partner (John Grisham)

About this book

They watched Danilo Silva for days before they finally grabbed him. He was living alone a quiet life on a shady street in a small town in Brazil; a simple life in a modest home certainly not one of luxury. Certainly no evidence of the fortune they thought he had stolen. He was much thinner and his face had been altered. He spoke a different language and spoke it very well. But Danilo had a past with many chapters. Four years earlier he had been Patrick Lanigan a young partner in a prominent Biloxi law firm. He had a pretty wife a new daughter and a bright future. Then one cold winter night Patrick was trapped in a burning car and died a horrible death. When he was buried his casket held nothing more than his ashes. From a short distance away Patrick watched his own burial. Then he fled. Six weeks later a fortune was stolen from his ex-law firms offshore account. And Patrick fled some more. But they found him.
