In a desperate bid, Lanigan gives complete control of the money to Eva, then turns himself over to the FBI. But Aricia had men track him down, ruthless men who will do whatever it takes, including torture, to reclaim the stolen fortune. Since then, Lanigan started a new life with new-found love Eva. Lanigan then devised a plan of his own, wherein he faked his death, stole $90 million from the secret off-shore accounts where the firm had been hiding the ill-gotten gains, and then fled to South America. The firm's senior partners didn't include Lanigan in the plan, in which they stood to make tens of millions of dollars. It's been four years since Patrick Lanigan, a junior partner in a law firm in Biloxi, Mississippi, learned of the scheme, masterminded by his firm's client, shipbuilding magnate Benny Aricia, to defraud the U.S. The Partner (1997) is a legal/thriller novel by American author John Grisham.
