''Electrifying... carries the reader along one track innocent
man seeks exoneration only to switch on to another cat-and-mouse
caper halfway through with delicious, frictionless ease.'' --
Guardian ''[T]his is not a story about a triumph or a miscarriage of
courtroom justice. It''s the more devious, surprising story of a
smart man who gets even smarter once he spends five years honing
his skills as a jailhouse lawyer -- and then expertly concocts an
ingenious revenge scheme... Mr. Grisham wri

| 內容簡介: |
“尽管他们的责任巨大,时刻面对激烈的争论甚至暴力冲突,在美国历史上也仅有4位联邦法官在任上被谋杀.雷蒙德法官却成为了第五位。他的尸体在用来度假的湖边自建小屋中被发现。他未能出现在周一法庭上,工作人员报警了,不久人们就找到了谋杀现场。那里没有强行进入或挣扎的痕迹,仅有的只是两具尸体—法官大人和他的秘书。我不认识法官大人,但我知道谁为什么杀了他。我是个律师,我被关押在监,这可说来话长了。”

Bannister)是一名正在监狱服刑的前任律师。他知道谁是杀害一位联邦法官的幕后黑手。不过美国联邦调查局想要从他口中换取线索,就得满足他所提出的条件:用情报换自由。
Given the importance of what they do, and the controversies that
often surround them, and the violent people they sometimes
confront, it is remarkable that in the history of the USA only four
active federal judges have been murdered.
Judge Raymond Fawcett just became number five.
His body was found in the small basement of a lakeside cabin he
had built himself and frequently used on weekends. When he did not
show up for a trial on Monday morning, his law clerks panicked,
called the FBI, and in due course the agents found the crime scene.
There was no forced entry, no struggle, just two dead bodies -
Judge Fawcett and his young secretary.
I did not know Judge Fawcett, but I know who killed him, and
why.
I am a lawyer, and I am in prison.
It''s a long story.
