The Associate By John Grisham It's a deadly game of blackmail. And they're making him play.
Kyle McAvoy is one of the outstanding legal
students of his generation: he's good looking, has a brilliant mind and a
glittering future ahead of him. But he has a secret from his past, a secret
that threatens to destroy his fledgling career and, possibly, his entire
life. One night that secret catches up with him in the form of some bad men
in a dark alley - they have a deeply compromising video of the incident that
haunts him. The men make it clear to Kyle that he no longer owns his own
future - that he must do as they tell him, or the
video will be made public knowledge, with all the unpleasant consequences.
What price do they demand for Kyle's secret?Strangely, it is for Kyle to do exactly what any
ambitious young lawyer would want to do: take a job in New York as an
associate at the largest law firm in the world, a job that is incredibly well
paid and, with mammoth hours and outrageous billing, could lead to
partnership and a fortune. But Kyle won't be working for the company, but
against it - passing on the secrets of the company's biggest trial to date, a
dispute between two defense contractors worth billions of dollars to the
victor. Now Kyle is caught between the criminal forces manipulating him and
the FBI, who would love to unmask the conspiracy. Will his intellect, cunning
and bravery be enough to extricate him from an impossible dilemma? Full of
twists and turns and reminiscent of "The Firm", "The
Associate" is vintage John Grisham. 495
