Publisher Description
John Grisham's best-selling audiobook, The Firm, is now a series on NBC!
At the top of his class at Harvard Law, he had his choice of the best in America. He made a deadly mistake. When Mitch McDeere signed on with Bendini, Lambert & Locke of Memphis, he thought he and his beautiful wife, Abby, were on their way. The firm leased him a BMW, paid off his school loans, arranged a mortgage and hired him a decorator. Mitch McDeere should have remembered what his brother Ray -- doing fifteen years in a Tennessee jail -- already knew. You never get nothing for nothing. Now the FBI has the lowdown on Mitch's firm and needs his help. Mitch is caught between a rock and a hard place, with no choice -- if he wants to live.

"Loved this book! It was a great read, the story of this naive, green lawyer and his sweet wife who think they have hit the jackpot. The characters are great, the way he takes you to different locations in the book made it more interesting as well. I love good law drama's and mystery."

" I loved the book, really interesting story. A big part of the book is less like a legal novel and more like an action-adventure novel. It was not really what I expected, but the story was real good. "

" Loved every bit of this book "
— Jon, 4/11/2016 -
" Great read, couldn't put it down at the end, had to stay up late to finish it. Then I rented the movie and enjoyed it and making comparisons to the book. They changed it up a little, but caught the essence of it. "
