***THE BIGGEST GRISHAM IN OVER A DECADE***
The Exchange is John Grisham's epic follow-up to his phenomenal global bestseller The Firm, the novel that launched his career as the world's favourite storyteller - it will take you on a rollercoaster journey across the globe, from New York to London, and Rome to Marrakech.
TEN DAYS TO SAVE A LIFE. ONE SECOND TO END IT.
Mitch McDeere has cheated death and come out the other side. Fifteen years ago, he stole $10 million from the mob and disappeared. Now, with his enemies jailed or dead, he has fought his way to the top of the biggest law firm in the world.
When a new case takes Mitch to Libya, danger awaits: he's soon in the biggest hostage negotiation in recent history with terrorists who have murdered and will murder again. Their demand is staggering: a ransom of $100 million must be paid within 10 days.
But this isn't a random kidnapping - it's personal. And no one, not even Mitch's wife in New York, is safe.
With the clock ticking, can Mitch stay one step ahead of his enemies?
This time, there's nowhere to hide.

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
This legal blockbuster revisits Mitch McDeere, hero of The Firm— last seen on the run from the Mob. He’s now a married father-of-two in Manhattan and partner at the world’s largest law firm. When Mitch is given the job of persuading the Libyan government to settle its debt to a mega-bridge construction company, it sets off a sinister chain of events. His Italian associate is taken hostage by ruthless gunmen, who prove they mean business in gruesome style. Mitch must raise the ransom money and bargain for his colleague’s safe release—a task further complicated by his friendship with her terminally ill father, the volatile situation in Libya and the West’s refusal to negotiate with terrorists. When Mitch’s wife Abby is approached by the kidnappers and their twin boys are threatened, the case gets even closer to home. Is there a link to the money launderers who Mitch outwitted 15 years ago? Can he protect his loved ones while staying one step ahead of his foes? A propulsive, globetrotting narrative is played out in private jets, five-star hotels and tense conference rooms. A riveting ride with the added nostalgic frisson of catching up with characters who feel like old friends.
Customer Reviews
Disapointing
Can't see Tom taking an option to reprise Mitch in this one, rather boring and nowhere to run to!
Oh dear.
It’s cheap because it’s not a good book.
Another classy novel.
Once again Grisham delivers a great story told in his very easy to read style.
