The Associate Grisham, John

Kyle McAvoy has it all: a Yale law degree, a dream job offer at Manhattan's biggest firm, and a future most graduates would kill for. Then someone from his past surfaces with a video from college — one drunken night that could destroy everything. The blackmailers want him to steal secrets from his new firm. Refuse, and they release the video. Comply, and he becomes a corporate spy risking disbarment, prison, or worse. Grisham drops you into the cutthroat world of Big Law, where hundred-hour weeks and billion-dollar cases collide with Kyle's impossible moral trap. It's tense, propulsive, and unsettlingly plausible — the legal thriller that asks what you'd do when every choice leads somewhere dark. For fans of courtroom drama with a paranoid edge, or anyone who's wondered what really happens in those glass tower law firms.
