So to protect himself, he eventually hires a lawyer. This is where the saying, "in-between a rock and a hard place" seems to have come from. In order to encourage Mark to reveal his secrets, the law enforcers decide to throw him in jail (more of a Juveniles Hall), until he gives them the desired information. All the same while, the Mafia (a typical Grisham antagonist) is threatening the family making sure the truth is never spoken. The Lawyers get involved trying to pry the truth out of Mark, but he refuses to tell. What makes this even more relevant is that this man tells Mark some very important secrets that ends up putting his family in jeopardy. On the way, they witness a man kill himself. It begins with a young boy, Mark Sway, and his little brother going out to smoke the dreaded cigarette. Like other Grisham books, this story takes place in the south. Don't get me wrong, things do happen in the story, yet, at times it feels as if it leads nowhere. Wow, what a bore! The Client starts out very intriguing in the first chapter, but from then on out, it was all downhill. Brief Summary: A kid sees too much and is caught between the legal system and the Mafia.
