The Associate Book

One of the outstanding legal students, Kyle McAvoy appears to have it all - good looking, a brilliant mind and a potentially glittering future. But a secret from his past threatens to ruin it all, even his life. The secret catches up with him when some men in a dark alley make it clear they have a compromising video of the incident and are not afraid to make it public knowledge, unless he does exactly as they say. And they want him to take an incredibly well-paid job in New York at the largest law firm in the world, a role that has plenty of room for progression. They don't want Kyle to work for the company, but against it - passing on the secrets of the company's biggest trial to date. Now Kyle, caught between the criminal forces manipulating him and the FBI, who would love to unmask the conspiracy, will have to use all his intellect, cunning and bravery to extricate himself. A deadly game of blackmail full of twists and turns ensues, bringing to mind the likes of The Firm. The Associate is John Grisham at his vintage best.
