THE PARTNER

Once he was a well-liked well-paid young partner in a thriving Mississippi law firm. Then Patrick Lanigan stole ninety million dollars from his own firm—and ran for his life. For four years he evaded men who were rich and powerful and who would stop at nothing to find him. Then inevitably on the edge of the Brazilian jungle they finally tracked him down. Now Patrick is coming home. And in the Mississippi city where it all began an extraordinary trial is about to begin. As prosecutors circle like sharks as Patrick’s lawyer prepares his defense as Patrick’s lover prays for his deliverance and his former partners wait for their revenge another story is about to emerge. Because Patrick Lanigan the most reviled white-collar criminal of his time knows something that no one else in the world knows. He knows the truth.
