The Partner has an interesting plot, but fails to deliver on it. A lawyer fakes his own death, steals 90 million from his partners and escapes to South America. Patrick Lanigan is the lawyer and after four years, he is caught and brought back to Biloxi to face charges against him. Before returning he is almost tortured to death and due to this he is allowed to stay in a hospital instead of jail. While in the hospital he clues his lawyer and his judge friend in on the details of his escape. Everything falls into place too easily and of course Patrick gets away with everything. No one would have as much luck as he had or be that smart to get away with it and it makes the story not very believable. The ending does a fairly interesting twist, but the problem with it is that you see it coming about five chapters before it happens.
