I really enjoyed this book. The majority of the action takes place in Bologna, Italy and involves walking around the city.
Quite enjoyable thriller with Grisham showing that he has been on holiday to Bologna. Probably.
This is a pretty good story, but (a) the writing is not great and (b) it was apparently an excuse for Grisham to spend a lot of time in Italy eating and drinking. If you're into all things Italian, you might like it
