With the trial about to be lost for lack of evidence, and a witness who won`t take the stand, suddenly Theo finds himself caught in the middle of his - and the town`s - biggest case

When we last saw Theo Boone, he ensured that justice was served by uncovering evidence that kept a guilty man off of the streets. Hot off this high-profile murder trial, thirteen-year-old Theo is still dispensing legal advice to friends and teachers. But just when it seems as if his life has calmed down and gone back to the status quo, a new legal mystery comes to town, and this time it's personal.
Following on from the bestselling Theodore Boone, John Grisham delivers high intensity legal drama for a new generation of readers. Theodore Boone is back in a new adventure, and the stakes are higher than ever.
