Instead of helping those in need, McAvoy accepts a position at a huge Wall Street firm, Scully & Pershing, whose clients include a military contractor enmeshed in a $800 billion lawsuit concerning a newly-designed aircraft. .

If you thought Mitch McDeere was in trouble in The Firm, waituntil you meet Kyle McAvoy, The AssociateKyle McAvoy grew up in his father’s small-town law office in York, Pennsylvania.

Almost! Thomas M. Shepard I'm never sure which John Grisham I'm getting when I start one of his books. The Associate is an example of Grisham's occasional lapses that result in a book that is almost an excellent read. Grisham the great story teller and Grisham the master of the spellbinding, complex plot both took time off from this book.Nonetheless, the novel is well written, as always, contains graphic character development and reads quickly.. Akita Mom said The Associate. As a long time John Grisham fan, I have eagerly looked forward to each new release. So much so that I accumulated books long before I had the opportunity to read them. So when I finally had a chance to read this book it was with great anticipation. My disappointment was not long in coming, when I found that the underlying premise reminded me a great deal of "The Firm" a much earlier work. In fact I had to go back and reread the dust jacket of The Firm to make sure they weren't the same book. They are not; The Firm deals w. Page-turner Louisa May True to form, Grisham kept my interest from beginning to end. Good book with surprising ending. I highly recommend this book.
