Book description
It's a deadly game of blackmail. And they're making him play.
Kyle McAvoy is one of the outstanding legal students of his
generation: he's good looking, has a brilliant mind and a glittering
future ahead of him. But he has a secret from his past, a secret that
threatens to destroy his entire life.
One night that secret catches up with him in the form of a deeply
compromising video of the incident that haunts him. Kyle realises that
he no longer owns his own future - that he must do as his
blackmailers tell him, or the video will be made public, with all the
unpleasant consequences.
What price do they demand for Kyle's secret? It is for Kyle to take
a job in New York as an associate at the largest law firm in the
world. Kyle won't be working for this company, but against it
- passing on the secrets of it's biggest trial to date, a
dispute worth billions of dollars to the victor.
Full of twists and turns and reminiscent of The Firm, The
Associate is vintage John Grisham.
