The Associate - by John Grisham
If you thought Mitch McDeere was in trouble in The Firm, wait until you meet Kyle McAvoy, The Associate.
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. But 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.
