The Partner: A gripping crime thriller from the Sunday Times bestselling author of mystery and suspense

Product Information

There is none of the action of The Firm or The Pelican Brief. It doesn't have the interest of A Time To Kill or The Chamber. Credevo d’aver letto almeno un Grisham, forse due, parecchio tempo fa, senza particolare entusiasmo. Only a few megaselling authors of popular fiction deviate dramatically from formula--most notably Stephen King but recently Grisham, too. He's serializing a literary novel, A Painted House, in the Continue reading » The chamber in question is the gas chamber at the Mississippi State Penitentiary--and for 69-year-old Sam Crayhall, the road thence has been many years long. Sam was twice tried and twice acquitted Continue reading » I love Grisham’s writing style. I was engaged all the way through. There was good action and a lot of suspense. By the end I was amazed, impressed, and intrigued with all the planning, strategizing, and how things worked out. It may not be believable but it was fun. Then the ending was frustrating and unhappy. I WANT HAPPY ENDINGS. Unfortunately that was my only problem with the book. I loved the experience. The only thing positive about the end was that it was thought provoking. I had to tell myself yes I could see that. But it’s not a story I want to hear. I normally would give this book a below average rating due to the ending, but because the rest was so good, I compromised at 3 stars. For someone who would enjoy smart-thinking, out-thinking others, and a good suspenseful read, go ahead.

The Partner: A gripping crime thriller from the Sunday Times

Kidnappings were all too common in the Frontier.Americans were easy targets. But why him?Danilo asked himself this as his head wobbled and his eyes closed.He smiled as he fell through space, dodging comets and meteors, grabbing at moons and grinning through entire galaxies. Inspired by the best-selling author's own childhood in rural Arkansas, this 2000 novel tells the story of how a seven-year-old farm boy and his family are changed by a particular cotton harvest. Continue reading »Ma mi sbagliavo, lo confondevo con Scott Turow: entrambi avvocati convertitisi in scrittori di legal thriller. There is not a lot to say about THE PARTNER. It is a legal thriller with pleasing (although not unexpected) twists. As far as books in that vein go it is a fine effort. The ending irritated me, but only because it was what I suspected might happen, and I did not want it to. However, in a cosmic justice sense, and in the world of human behavior it is probably perfectly appropriate. In ceea ce priveste autorul, Grisham este unul dintre preferatii mei datorita experientei sale vaste in domeniul juridic, a mintii sale stralucite cu care tese aceste intrigi si mai ales a plot-twist-urilor de la final. Si romanul acesta are unul senzational, insa pe care l-am prevazut datorita, ati ghicit, braziliencei sexy. Nu e bine niciodata sa lasi banii pe mana unei femei atat de frumoase si atat de destepte.

Se spune ca fiecare om are pretul sau. V-ati gandit vreodata care ar fi suma pentru care v-ati vinde sufletul? Dar trupul? Dar totul? America's most popular author is arguably its most popular crusader as well, tilting his pen against myriad targets, including big law (The Firm, etc.), big tobacco (The Runaway Jury), big insurance Continue reading » The running was serious business, and it pleased them mightily.Danilo would simply run into their arms. God has created us with a conscience and knowledge of right and wrong. If we persistently sin, our conscience may become dulled but there will be a nagging feeling that something is not quite right. We cannot escape it. The Partner is a good illustration of this truth--the man is always looking over his shoulder and waiting for the inevitable. He cannot relax and enjoy the things he has acquired. We know too, that those who evade justice in this life will face the ultimate Judge in the next. The One who judges perfectly according to His law all those who have not trusted Jesus for their salvation. This book also reminds us that relationships are more valuable than possessions. They saw him leave home in the red Beetle.He was in a hurry, came the report. He raced across town to the airport, jumped on a small commuter at the last moment, and was gone.His car was parked in the only lot, and they watched it every second of every hour.The plane was headed in the general direction of Sao Paulo, with four stops in between.Another sweltering month in Charlotte, another boatload of mysteries past and present for overworked, overstressed forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan. Grisham is a two-time winner of the Harper Lee Prize for Legal Fiction and was honored with the Library of Congress Creative Achievement Award for Fiction. They found him after four years of tedious but diligent searching, four years of dead ends and lost trails and false tips, four years of pouring good money down the drain, good money chasing bad, it seemed. When the van stopped on a dusty road near a farm field, Danilo uttered his first words."What do you want?" he asked, in Portuguese.

The perfect spot was two and a half miles from his house, over a small hill on a gravel road, not far from his turning-around point.Danilo topped the hill twenty minutes into his run, a few seconds ahead of schedule.He ran harder, for some reason.Probably the clouds.The directions in the file were specific.On such alarms, do not call the police.Try first to locate Mr. Silva, and in the event he cannot be found at once, then call a number in Rio.Ask for Eva Miranda. As vrea sa amintesc si de Thiopental de Sodiu - adica 'serul adevarului', ce este folosit pentru marturisiri, in special de psihologi si anchetatori. Este bine de stiut ca acesta este un barbituric cu efect rapid, insa, care trebuie administrat cu foarte mare grija si atentie pentu ca pacientul sa ajunga la nivelul de constienta potrivit, la care sa poate fi supus unui interogatoriu. Daca doza este prea mica nu are efect iar daca este prea mare subiectul cade lat. Forget about solving all these crimes; the signal triumph here is (spoiler) the heroine’s survival. Another pause while Stephano arranged his thoughts, a process that usually took milliseconds."The money?"
