8 posts | 55 read | 13 to read
Un hombre con una valiossima informacin clasificada se convierte en el blanco de los enemigos de Estados Unidos, mientras la CIA est dispuesta a sacrificar su vida en su lucha por la seguridad nacional. Joel Backman, uno de los abogados ms poderosos de Washington, es encarcelado en una prisin federal por haber tenido acceso a informacin militar clasificada relacionada con unos misteriosos satlites de los que nadie conoca la existencia. Seis aos ms tarde recibe el indulto del Presidente. Lo que no imagina es que detrs de esta decisin se ocultan intereses de la CIA. Con el pretexto de que la informacin que posee podra ganarle enemigos, el gobierno pone a su disposicin un avin militar que le llevar hasta Bolonia, donde Backman tendr que empezar a vivir bajo una nueva identidad... Al menos en teora. En realidad, la CIA tiene intencin de informar de su paradero a los servicios de inteligencia de Israel, Rusia, China y Arabia Saud, entre otros. A partir de este momento, ya no se trata de si Backman consigue sobrevivir -esto es imposible- sino de quin le matar... La crtica ha dicho... Grisham es excepcionalmente bueno.

Finally finished. Been busy this month. Not your usual John Grisham book. More espionage thriller.
Didn't really care for it, but gave it 3⭐ because of the last 75%.

Unlike most of John Grisham's novels, this didn't keep me on the edge

I‘m not sure what happened here, if I‘ve changed as a reader, if Grisham started to write different books or a mix of both.

We follow Joel Backman from he‘s pardoned from his prison sentence and starts a new life in Italy. So he‘s not your typical hero, but more of a anti-hero. To me he just seems like a mean to tell a story, and he‘s not fully fleshed out and as a result I don‘t care what happens to him.

AnneCecilie There‘s a huge buildup to a climax that to me never takes off, and then the book ended. I feel a little bit cheated. This was my third book finished for #MakeMeReadIt @TheReadingMermaid 6y

In my teens I read all of his “classics”, The Client, The Pelican Report etc and then somewhere along the way I just stopped reading him. I don‘t think I‘ve read one of his books in 15 yrs. so here goes
