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. L’anno dopo, 1994, diretto da Joel Schumacher arrivo “The Client – Il cliente”, col dodicenne Brad Renfro protagonista, (Renfro è morto di o.d. a soli 25 anni). Ma per me a rubare la scena due attori strepitosi: Susan Sarandon e Tommy Lee Jones. Forget about solving all these crimes; the signal triumph here is (spoiler) the heroine’s survival. 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. Osmar wanted to grab him.Guy said they’d wait.He vanished on the fourth day, and the dirty little cottage was in chaos for thirty-six hours.

It's not a courtroom drama but more about how the protagonist uses the system & legal maneuvers to get himself out of trouble.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 Partner by John Grisham: 9780385339100
I finished reading this book within 3 days, a gripping story which full of twists and the unexpected. Here’s my 5 cent review... E nonostante Grisham sia amato dalla settima musa, il film, più volte annunciato, con Mark Whalberg protagonista, non è mai stato realizzato. When he's not writing, Grisham serves on the board of directors of the Innocence Project and of Centurion Ministries, two national organizations dedicated to exonerating those who have been wrongfully convicted. Much of his fiction explores deep-seated problems in our criminal justice system.A traditional gangbuster Grisham opening--in which an aged billionaire outfoxes his greedy heirs by signing a bombshell will, then jumps to his death--gives little clue how this seductive tale will Continue reading »
