I've enjoyed reading all of JG's books but this one was a complete dud!! No connection to the Firm, and the ending was terrible. Where was the suspense? Where was the connection to the past? Where were the twists and turns?? Where was the lawyering? There were none, it was all about the middle east and trying to come up with 100 million bucks. Also, couldn't keep up with all the different characters, had to keep going back to previous chapters to remember who they were. Hope this was just an anomaly, and his next book will get back to how Mr.Grisham normally puts a story together.
