"Eleven-year-old Mark Sway and his younger brother were sharing a forbidden cigarette when a chance encounter with a suicidal lawyer left Mark knowing a bloody and explosive secret: the whereabouts of the most-sought-after dead body in America ... Prosecutors are willing to break all the rules to make Mark talk. The mob will stop at nothing to keep him quiet. And [his lawyer] will do anything to protect her client--even take a last, desperate gamble that could win Mark his freedom, or cost them both their lives"--Publisher description.
Grisham is a master of the legal thriller. The Client tells the story of an 11-year-old who witnesses the suicide of a high-powered attorney and is expected by all around to know more than he should about a certain client of that lawyer.
The book follows Mark Sway and his lawyer Reggie Love as they attempt to find the magic balance between doing the right thing and keeping Mark safe. It's a great book.
