The man they were to kidnap in Brazil had not always been called Silva. As a lawyer, Patrick S. Lanigan, his previous life had ended in a car crash in 1992. But six weeks after his death, $90 million disappeared from his law firm. It was then that his partners knew he was still alive. An unputdownable thriller by the current master of the genre, John Grisham.
