The rating of the different categories comes from the opinion of Delibris' collaborators

It is a classic, bestselling judicial thriller. Eleven-year-old Mark Sway is the only person who knows where the body of a U.S. senator is hidden. The FBI wants to know the location and the killer pretends the boy won't talk. Reggie Love, a lawyer, helps Mark from both threats and together they confront the power of the state apparatus and the mafia. 

It is a crime novel, very entertaining, with a fast plot, easy to read, entertaining, full of action. With an excellent way of narrating, the author manages to make it enjoyable. The figure of the child is very well profiled. Some people might find the caricature of the Christian pastor anxious for fame and power annoying. I highly recommend it to fans of this type of literature.
