The latest legal thriller from international number one bestselling author John Grisham. Kyle McAvoy is one of the outstanding legal students of his generation. But he has a secret from his past that threatens to destroy his entire life. When his secret is exposed, he is blackmailed into taking a job as an associate at the largest law firm in the world- almost a dream come true, except Kyle is forced not to work for the company but against it, passing on their secrets. Will his intellect, cunning and bravery be enough to extricate him from an impossible dilemma?
Kyle McAvoy grew up in his father's small-town law office in York, Pennsylvania. He excelled in college, was elected editor-in-chief of The Yale Law Journal, and his future has limitless potential.
But Kyle has a secret, a dark one, an episode from college that he has tried to forget. The secret, though, falls into the hands of the wrong people, and Kyle is forced to take a job he doesn't want - even though it's a job most law students can only dream about.
Three months after leaving Yale, Kyle becomes an associate at the largest law firm in the world, where, in addition to practicing law, he is expected to lie, steal, and take part in a scheme that could send him to prison, if not get him killed.
