Standard Grisham tale of underdog vs. Evil, but that's the point.

He chose an odd tense and POV for this one (and actually slips out of it in places), and I gotta say present tense first-person omniscient is not my favourite way to read a story. But it's still a fun book and probably his best since The Brethren, 19 years earlier.

Typical Grisham, but a notch above typical Grisham in the 21st Century.
