Summary:
"In a weedy lot on the outskirts of Memphis, two boys watch a shiny Lincoln pull up to the curb... Eleven-year-old Mark Sway and his younger brother were sharing a forbidden cigarette when a chance encounter with a suicidal lawyer left Mark knowing a bloody and explosive secret: the whereabouts of the most sought-after dead body in America. Now Mark is caught between a legal system gone mad and a mob killer desperate to cover up his crime. And his only ally is a woman named Reggie Love, who has been a lawyer for all of four years. Prosecutors are willing to break all the rules to make Mark talk. The mob will stop at nothing to keep him quiet. And Reggie will do anything to protect her client -- even take a last, desperate gamble that could win Mark his freedom... or cost them both their lives."
My Review:
I can honestly say that this is one book I wish I had never picked up. The main character, Mark Sway was an unbelievable character, which is the first thing that ruined the book for me. The second thing that ruined this book for me was the lack of interesting events. It was very predictable and through most of the book I just wanted to skip a few chapters to the end to see what happened instead of sitting through predictable trial after trial. The climax of the book didn’t come until about 30 pages to the end of the book and it was a disappointment. I am also not a fan of cliffhanger endings in stories that do not have a sequel and this ending was definitely a cliffhanger. I really struggled to get through this book and was disappointed, overall.
