It starts out with a little boy, named Mark and his brother waled into the woods to try and smoke cigarettes. While in the woods, they saw a man killed himself. But before he did so, this man told Mark some very important secrets. The secrets would put his family at risk. There are lawyers who keep on pressuring Mark to tell these secrets. He was afraid to tell his dangerous secrets because he knew that the Mafia would never forget.
Since Mark didn't told the secrets to the lawyers, he was put in jail until he admits this secret. This is where he hired a lawyer named Reggie for the fee of one dollar. He escaped for jail and wanted to find out the truth himself. That is the only way to really know if this is true or not . It is a coincidence though that the Mafia decides to do the same thing...How the end of the story will be?
I enjoyed thisbook very much. It is a very interesting and exciting story . When I read the story, I was very worrid about the fate of the little boy. I admire the author has a great knowledge of the legal system. ( )
