Synopsis
Mark Sway is 11 and knows where a body has been hidden. If the FBI can find the body， then they can prove that it was a Mafia murder， but Mark is too scared to tell the truth， so he hires a lawyer who must protect him both from the law and from the killers. ’Penguin Readers’ is a series of simplified novels， film novelizations and original titles that introduce students at all levels to the pleasures of reading in English. Originally designed for teaching English as a foreign language， the series’ combination of high interest level and low reading age makes it suitable for both English-speaking teenagers with limited reading skills and students of English as a second language. Many titles in the series also provide access to the pre-20th century literature strands of the National Curriculum English Orders. ’Penguin Readers’ are graded at seven levels of difficulty， from ’Easystarts’ with a 200-word vocabulary， to Level 6 (Advanced) with a 3000-word vocabulary. In addition， titles fall into one of three sub-categories: ’Contemporary’， ’Classics’ or ’Originals’. At the end of each book there is a section of enjoyable exercises focusing on vocabulary building， comprehension， discussion and writing. Some titles in the series are available with an accompanying audio cassette， or in a book and cassette pack. Additionally， selected titles have free accompanying ’Penguin Readers Factsheets’ which provide stimulating exercise material for students， as well as suggestions for teachers on how to exploit the Readers in class.

Mark Sway， age 11 but years wiser thanks to a drunken dad who abused his mom， is out in the woods behind his Memphis trailer park teaching his kid brother， Ricky， how to smoke Virginia Slims heisted from Mom’s purse. He’s a pretty upright kid--he’s determined to protect his brother from drugs， and he once defended his mom with a baseball bat. The dangers of smoking rapidly escalate when Mark glimpses a guy trying to commit suicide by carbon monoxide in his car nearby and tries to stop him. The guy is Jerome， a lawyer who tells Mark that his Mafia client has murdered Senator Boyd Boyette and buried him in the concrete under his garage in New Orleans. Then Jerome puts a bullet in his own head. Little Ricky flips out， and so does Barry the Blade Muldanno， who doesn’t want blustery U.S. attorney Reverend Roy Foltrigg to find the corpse and bust him. Caught in a ruthless game between the Mob and the amoral authorities， Mark’s family has no defense in the world except Reggie Love， a 50ish divorcee who has just turned her life around by becoming a lawyer. Does she have what it takes to help Mark beat the system? The life-or-death chase is on! Mark has seen a lot of movies， and he sees life in cinematic terms. So does Grisham. Even if this novel had never been filmed， it would still be a really good， fast-paced movie. Its literary limitation is also its filmlike virtue: The Client is a rush.
