About This Book
Hard to believe, but there was a time when the word "lawyer" wasn't synonymous
with "criminal," and the idea of a law firm controlled by the Mafia was an
outlandish proposition. This intelligent, ensnaring story came out of
nowhere--Oxford, Mississippi, where Grisham was a small-town lawyer--and quickly
catapulted to the top of the bestseller list, with good reason. Mitch McDeere,
the appealing hero, is a poor kid whose only assets are a first-class mind, a
Harvard law degree, and a beautiful, loving wife. When a Memphis law firm makes
him an offer he really can't refuse, he trades his old Nissan for a new BMW, his
cramped apartment for a house in the best part of town, and puts in long hours
finding tax shelters for Texans who'd rather pay a lawyer than the IRS. Nothing
criminal about that. He'd be set for life, if only associates at the firm didn't
have a funny habit of dying, and the FBI wasn't trying to get Mitch to turn his
colleagues in. The tempo and pacing are brilliant, the thrills keep coming, and
the finish has a wonderful ironic flourish. It's not hard to see why Grisham
changed the genre permanently with this one, and few of his colleagues in a very
crowded field come close to equaling him. --Jane Adams
