The next astonishing thriller from the master of the legal thriller. NO ONES WRITES DRAMA LIKE GRISHAM.
BEST FRIENDS. DEADLY ENEMIES.
Keith Rudy and Hugh Malco were once like brothers.
But as they grew up in the lawless city of Biloxi, their lives took very different paths. Rudy enrolled in law school and vowed to rid Biloxi of crime; Malco worked in his father's clubs, seduced by a world of money, violence and corruption.
The Malco family considers itself above the law: until a court case threatens to destroy their empire. And Rudy will be the one to prosecute them.
It's friend against friend - and there can only be one winner...
