Meet The Author

"Reading is by far the most successful pursuit of happiness."

Kyle McAvoy is one of the outstanding legal students of his generation: he’s good-looking, has a brilliant mind, and a glittering future is ahead of him. But he has a secret from his past, one 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.

However, Kyle won’t be working for the company, but against it – passing on the secrets of the firm’s biggest trial to date, a dispute between two defence 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?

The Associate is a legal thriller by John Grisham. It’s his 21st novel.
