In a novel of international intrigue, an American lawyer, Damon Pierce, attempts to save Bobby Okari, the West African leader of a protest movement, from execution by the country's corrupt and autocratic leader. Pierce is in a race against time, and as the complex trial-involving terrorism and the geopolitics of oil, missing witnesses and evidence, and the whims of a lawless country-unfolds, bodies fall and fates dangle.
Complicating matters further is Okari's wife, Marissa Brand, with whom Pierce had a relationship years before that he's never quite forgotten; she, in fact, persuaded him to take the case in the first place, and it is who she plays a crucial role in the eventual outcome of this taut and atmospheric novel.
Reviews / Votes
Passionate...exciting [and] eye-opening, page by page. * Washington Post * This stellar legal thriller both informs and entertains... Patterson has exerted all his considerable skill in creating a nightmare atmosphere that will cling to readers long after the last page is turned. * Publishers Weekly (starred review) * A satisfying fable that pits a hero who deeply believes in the rule of law against a violent, lawless regime that holds all the cards. * Kirkus Reviews * Nearly flawless-by the time you realize how well Patterson is writing, you are already caught up in this novel. * San Francisco Chronicle * Suspenseful-pervasive danger as real as the actual reality. * New York Daily News * compelling legal thriller, reminiscent of Exile. Patterson once again brings a timely, controversial subject - America's dependence on foreign oil - to the forefront in this...engrossing read. * Library Journal *More details
