The Associate cover

AN AMERICAN CLASSIC FROM THE NO.1 BESTSELLING MASTER LEGAL THRILLER WRITER.

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 McAvoy is one of the greatest legal students of his generation. He has a brilliant mind and a glittering future ahead of him.

But he has a secret from the past that threatens to destroy his entire livelihood.

When this secret catches up with him in the form of a compromising video, Kyle is left with an impossible choice.

He can take a job in New York at the largest law firm in the world and share the sordid secrets of its biggest trial to date.

Or his past will be exposed to the masses.

It's a deadly game of blackmail. And someone is making him play.

It's a damned good read. This is Grisham returning to what he knows best. * Scotland on Sunday *
Grisham paints a fascinating picture. Vintage Grisham, with a really believable ending * The Guardian *
Tense and exciting * Evening Standard *
Easily his most recognisably 'back to form' novel since The Firm. Grisham has returned with a vengeance to his trademark territory: the grim world of corporate law and the sinister machinations of the men on its fringes. * The Times *
In typical Grisham fashion it does hurtle along at a decent clip * London Lite *
