Martin Vail is Chicago's most brilliant lawyer. So brilliant his enemies have set him up to defend a case he cannot win.
Young Aaron Stampler was caught red-handed after a murder that had the city reeling. He looks bound to fry, but he swears he's innocent.
In a desperate gamble for justice, Vail must reach deep into the recesses of a killer's mind, to flush out a monster of infinite cunning and evil. Explosive, haunting and brilliantly suspenseful, 'Primal Fear' is a truly terrifying read.
Now a major film starring Richard Gere.
