  • "Three months after leaving Yale, Kyle becomes an associate at the largest law firm in the world, where, in addition to practising law, he is expected to lie, steal, and take part in a scheme that could send him to prison, if not get him killed. Gripping pageturner in classic John Grisham style."@en
  • "Kyle McAvoy is one of the outstanding legal students of his generation, with a glittering future ahead of him. But he has a secret - and one night that secret catches up with him in the form of some bad men in a dark alley - and they have a video of the incident that haunts him. Kyle no longer owns his own future - he must do as they tell him. What price do they demand for Kyle's secret? Strangely, it is for Kyle to do exactly what any ambitious young lawyer would want to do: take a job as an associate at the largest law firm in the world, a job that is incredibly well paid and could lead to partnership and a fortune. Only Kyle won't be working for the company, but against it. Will his intellect, cunning and bravery be enough to extricate him from an impossible dilemma."
  • "John Grisham's 22nd legal-themed novel, The Associate, is packed with courtroom drama, dynamic characters, and concise yet detailed suspenseful plotlines."
  • "A small-town attorney takes what most would consider a "dream job" at the largest law firm in the world. What most don't realize is that it carries a heavy price - he is expected to lie, cheat, steal and take part in a scheme that could send him to prison or get him killed."
  • "Kyle McAvoy grew up in his father's small-town law office in York, Pennsylvania. He excelled in college, was elected editor-in-chief of The Yale Law Journal, and his future has limitless potential. But Kyle has a secret, a dark one, an episode from college that he has tried to forget. The secret, though, falls into the hands of the wrong people, and Kyle is forced to take a job he doesn't want-- even though it's a job most law students can only dream about. Three months after leaving Yale, Kyle becomes an associate at the largest law firm in the world, where, in addition to practicing law, he is expected to lie, steal, and take part in a scheme that could send him to prison, if not get him killed."@en

  • "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 fledgling career and, possibly, his entire life.One night that secret catches up with him in the form of some bad men in a dark alley -- they have a deeply compromising video of the incident that haunts him. The men make it clear to Kyle that he no longer owns his own future -- that he must do as they tell him, or the video will be made public knowledge, with all the unpleasant consequences.What price do they demand for Kyle's secret? Strangely, it is for Kyle to do exactly what any ambitious young lawyer would want to do: take a job in New York as an associate at the largest law firm in the world , a job that is incredibly well paid and, with mammoth hours and outrageous billing, could lead to partnership and a fortune.But Kyle won't be working for the company, but against it -- passing on the secrets of the company's biggest trial to date, a dispute between two defense contractors worth billions of dollars to the victor. Now Kyle is caught between the criminal forces manipulating him and the FBI, who would love to unmask the conspiracy. Will his intellect, cunning and bravery be enough to extricate him from an impossible dilemma?Full of twists and turns and reminiscent of The Firm, The Associate is vintage John Grisham."@en
