Description
The Associate – 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 entire life.
One night that secret catches up with him in the form of a deeply compromising video of the incident that haunts him. Kyle realises that he no longer owns his own future – that he must do as his blackmailers tell him, or the video will be made public, with all the unpleasant consequences.
What price do they demand for Kyle’s secret? It is for Kyle to take a job in New York as an associate at the largest law firm in the world. Kyle won’t be working for this company, but against it – passing on the secrets of it’s biggest trial to date, a dispute worth billions of dollars to the victor.
This 2009 paperback is in fair condition, showing noticeable signs of use such as wear to the cover or slightly aged pages. The book remains complete and readable
Karin’s note: This is another legal thriller written by John Grisham, one of my favourite authors! In The Associate, he takes us deep into the high-pressure world of elite law firms. A young lawyer is forced into a dangerous game of blackmail and corporate spying. If you love stories with big stakes and even bigger secrets, you won’t be able to put this one down.
