The Client
(John Grisham)
The Client by John Grisham takes place in Memphis. The bookstarts out with a little boy, named Mark and his brother sneaking into the woods to try and smoke cigarettes. While in the woods, they witness a man kill himself.The suicidal person is a Mafia member's lawyer.But before he kills himself, the man tells Mark some very important secrets, which ends up putting Mark and his entire family at risk of being hurt as they guy who dies was involved with the Mafia. The whole episodeends up putting Mark's brother in a coma. There are lawyers who keep on pressuring Mark to tell these things that he is not supposed to know, except that the Mafia threatens to kill Mark and his family if they tell the truth. This is because the secret is that the Mafia killed a Senator and buried him in their lawyer's garage, and the lawyer is the person who commits suicide. Since Mark didn't confess to the lawyers,Mark hires a lawyer named Reggie Love for the fee of one dollar. He eventually escapes from jail and figures out that the only way to really know if this is true or not is if he goes and sees it himself. It is a coincidence though that the Mafia decides to do the same thing. Mark and Reggie end up finding the body and nearly getting themselves killed.
Thegoodpoint in the book and a moral in the book is i think to "never underestimate the power of a child cause they can never cease to amaze"
