This is my first John Grisham novel so that may explain why my opinion differs from several of the earlier low rankings. I found that the action started at a high pitch in the first chapter; and then moved along at a brisk pace as the point-of-view switches between the amateur spy; the thieves; and the rare book fence. It's a made-for-movie script with scenes in Florida, France, and patrician Princeton, NJ. [Grisham must have received a Canada Council Grant as 'Canada' is mentioned three times in this crime thriller.] Grisham is a writer's writer in this novel as he describes the psychological trials of a struggling author; and offers tips on plot development and writing pitfalls.
