This was kind of a letdown for me. I was really excited to read Mitch McDeere's further adventures, but nothing about this seemed to work.

We start off with Mitch as a high-powered lawyer in New York, which is puzzling since he left the country after stealing millions of dollars at the end of The Firm. Then the book seems to be going in an interesting direction when he gets a death penalty case in Memphis. However, that is short-lived to say the least, and suddenly Mitch is in Libya dealing with a kidnapping.

It was all too strange and disjointed for me. It felt like Grisham wrote a book about a kidnapping in Libya, and then threw Mitch McDeere in as an afterthought to bring in more readers. I felt kind of cheated. This was no real continuation of The Firm, and readers also expecting that will be as disappointed as I was.

I received a free copy of this book from the publishers. My review is voluntary and the opinions expressed are my own.
