#1 WORLDWIDE BESTSELLER • The iconic legal thriller that launched the career of America’s favorite storyteller, hailed as “an absolute master” (The Washington Post)
“[An] ingenious man-in-the-middle thriller.”—Entertainment Weekly
Mitch McDeere has worked hard to get where he is: third in his class at Harvard Law. Aggressively recruited by all the top firms, and initially headed for Wall Street, Mitch surprises everyone by joining Bendini, Lambert & Locke, a very private, very rich tax firm in Memphis. Mitch and his wife, Abby, move to Tennessee and quickly settle into their new life: they’re young, happy, and on the fast track. Or so they think.
Soon, though, Mitch senses trouble: two of the partners die in a suspicious diving accident off Grand Cayman; the firm’s management is overly proud of the fact that no one has ever resigned; and security measures at the firm, even for a company with billionaire clients, are more than a little stringent. Then, suddenly, Mitch’s vague suspicions come to life.
The FBI has the lowdown on Mitch’s firm and needs his help. Now Mitch is caught between a rock and a hard place. The FBI will bust him if he doesn’t cooperate, and the firm will kill him if he does. There’s no way out.
Or is there?
The story continues in The Exchange, the “breathtaking” (The Wall Street Journal) sequel to The Firm!
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
When it comes to legal thrillers, John Grisham’s pulse-pounding novel The Firm is a top-tier classic. Young tax attorney Mitch McDeere is a rising star at a high-powered Memphis law firm…until the FBI shows up and starts asking him questions. With pressures from the Feds on one side and danger from his employer’s mob links on the other, Mitch plots a delicate plan to keep himself alive and out of jail. Grisham is a master of suspense, using his inside knowledge as a former attorney to create perilously high stakes. He makes you feel like the walls are closing in further and further, until that slow build gives way to a runaway train of danger and shocking reveals. Veteran narrator Scott Brick’s pristine delivery matches the narrative beat for beat. The Firm has remained a pop culture sensation since it was first released, and when you dive into this breathless listen, it’s easy to see why.
