<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br> For those who thought "The Firm" was suspenseful, wait until they meet "The Associate," the newest legal thriller from bestselling author Grisham. <p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br> <b>If you thought Mitch McDeere was in trouble in <i>The Firm</i>, wait<br>until you meet Kyle McAvoy, <i>The Associate</i> <p/></b>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 <i>The Yale Law Journal</i>, and his future has limitless potential. <p/>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. <p/>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. <p/>With an unforgettable cast of characters and villains--from Baxter Tate, a drug-addled trust fund kid and possible rapist, to Dale, a pretty but seemingly quiet former math teacher who shares Kyle's "cubicle" at the law firm, to two of the most powerful and fiercely competitive defense contractors in the country--and featuring all the twists and turns that have made John Grisham the most popular storyteller in the world, <b>The Associate</b> is vintage Grisham. <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> "<b>GRISHAM HAS A FIELD DAY</b>...The Associate grabs the reader quickly and becomes impossible to put down." --Janet Maslin, <i>The New York Times</i> <p/>"Grisham's confident style hasn't changed, and <b>THERE'S SUSPENSE APLENTY</b>." --<i>People</i> <p/>"Grisham makes it easy for us to keep flipping the pages...<b>A DEVASTATING PORTRAIT OF THE BIG-TIME, BIG-BUCKS LEGAL WORLD</b>." --Patrick Anderson, <i>The Washington Post</i> <p/>"Throughout, Grisham unwinds the spool of his narrative at a <b>MASTERFUL</b>, page-turning pace that pulls readers in and keeps them wanting more...<i>The Associate</i> is an absorbing thriller that's <b>A FITTING FOLLOW-UP TO <i>THE FIRM</i></b>." --<i>The Boston Globe</i> <p/>"<b>COMPULSIVELY READABLE</b>...You're peering into a secret world of power and money.
