Hi.
This novel is authored by John Grisham. I am amazed with how he can think about this complicated, yet marvelous plot of this story. Oh watch this. Click on the picture if you want to watch it bigger.
and here is the rating how good it is. Taken from google book .
REVIEW
You can see there are lots of review it have there. As for me, the plot twist never make me bored. Thrilling. You see, that guy, Patrick who plot all these confrontation had planned everything for 4 years before executing it.
So everything started when he died. Tragically, in a car accident. BOOM! Burned so bad, that leave no trace but only a bone left. Badly burned. Well, at least, that's what people think. But it turns out, he didn't. He has disappeared. Magically. Into thin air, nobody knows where he is.
But somehow, they know about his position. They have a source. Trusted one. Because all the information the source gave were all true. So they tracked him down. In Brazil. But why they want to track him down?
Ahh, that's because before he ran away, he stole ninety million dollar of his own company's. And they are really upset about this.
But who was in the car accident, if he is not dead yet? The police found a bone there. Whose bone is it? It must be someone, and might be murdered by him. But who was it? The government is really furious about this. Killing a United State's citizen is unforgivable. This should be bring to the justice. The FBI is in charge to capture him.
After years away in Brazil, he was captured by the bad guys. Hired by his old firm, of course. They want back the money. With their own ways. FBI might make their work more complicated. And by torture, they expect to get the money. But it turns out he have no idea where the money is. Just the moment when he is going to die, because not cooperating with them, their boss has called from the Washington. FBI, of course. You cannot kill American citizen like that. They deserve to talk in the court. With justice. With a proper procedure. Not with that kind of torture. They really mad at that bad guy. So they had to stop, or otherwise the FBI will interrupt their business. You know, the police or government always have their own ways to make these guys in trouble. Warrant that and that, and waste their time and money. And that is a disaster. Who wants that to be happen. Better to be cooperate with them. So there. All the bad guys immediately stop the torture, and send him back to the FBI. Oh, how FBI knows about this? Patrick has his own guy to tell the FBI if anything happen to him. FBI will save him. He knew it. He really knows how to pull the string to save his ass. He survived the torture. Hoorayy!
The murder that we all think, actually not really a murder. Just when the government want to prosecute him for it, he knows how to walk away from it.
And the ninety million dollar he stole from his old firm is returned back. Not to his firm, but the government. Why? Because this money is actually belong to the government at first. But his old firm has deceived the government, and win the sue when they fight in the court. They won that ninety million. And here, Patrick have the evidence that his old company had actually was bluffing. Government is really delighted about this, and release Patrick free from any prosecution.
He is now a free man.
Well, Just when I thought the book will have a good ending, I am really disappointed when I read the last chapter.
VALUES
What I learned from this novel is that whenever you want to do something, you need to have a plan. As things are getting serious, you need to be more cautious. Patrick has took 4 years to plan all these things, to flee with new identity of Danillo Silva, took money of ninety million dollar from his company, and stay hidden in Brazil. A splendid work from a lawyer. Ahh. Did I say Patrick is the one who planned his own capture? Hahaha. He had enough with all these hiding in the shadow. He wanted to settle everything. The money, and the murder. He secretly send his girlfriend to tell the bad guys his location. That plot twist is crazy. That's what Patrick's lawyer said to him after he knew the truth. So there, a thorough plan and patience with time.
As you can see there, he cannot make his plan a success without his friends. His lawyer was once his good friends. And his girlfriend is really good lawyer too. She is the one who have the money. Patrick trusted her, with all the money he stole, to be kept away and it is not without the knowledge of Patrick. Why? Because he sees that coming. He know. He will be captured, one day. When he is in the prosecution, Patrick trusted his lawyer to handle everything in the court. With the evidence he has collected during his time with the nasty company, he believe that his old friend can make the job done. Whenever you want to do something, you need a team. Each one will have different role to cover everything. Everything!
As i said earlier in the first paragraph, patience with time is important, but so does the patience with environment. Even if you are in trouble, keep calm and think carefully. One mistake can lead to another. That was when they knew that his girlfriend, Eva is the one who kept all the money. Now they are after her. After the money. How Eva can save herself, while Patrick is now in the jail? He cannot help him. Eva knew someone is chasing her. She kept herself cool in public. Genius. But not for long. She didn't keep calm when they came too near to her. She decided to take a plan to Washington. She didn't know why. Patrick had actually teach her how to be invisible. But Eva is too worried to keep her coolness. Now she's stuck with the custom. Why? That's because her identity has been known to the government. Now they know her secret identity. Her false passport is no longer usable. And that makes her need to stay with the customs. In Brazil. Next time, you should keep calm, no matter what happened. Remember what you have learned. Luck is not always on our side. Stay safe.
