Theodore's parents are both lawyers. His mom is a divorce attorney who only represents women. His dad is a real estate lawyer specializing in boring paper work. Theodore wants to be a lawyer, but his passion lies in the courtroom and with criminal proceedings. Thus, he spends a lot of time at the courthouse. The biggest case in the history of his town has just started. Mr. Duffy is on trial for murdering his wife. The case against him is all circumstantial. During the trial, someone comes to Theodore with information about the case but swears him to secrecy. How can Theodore keep his promise but also be sure that justice is served?
Grisham does a fine job writing an interesting mystery for the juvenile set. His characters are believable, and he throws in other plot lines (homelessness and illegal immigrants) that hot topics for today. He's cultivating a new generation for his other books.
