Legal thriller

The Firm

by John Grisham

Ambitious Harvard Law graduate Mitch McDeere accepts an unusually generous offer from a small Memphis firm that promises wealth, status, and a carefully managed future. He soon notices that no associate ever leaves and that several colleagues have died under suspicious circumstances. The FBI reveals the firm's connection to organized crime, trapping Mitch between federal demands, surveillance, and employers who control nearly every detail of his life. Fast and suspenseful, this legal thriller suits readers who enjoy conspiracy, financial records, ingenious escape plans, marital teamwork, and cautionary stories about a dream job whose lavish benefits are designed to make captivity look like success.
