A young lawyer caught between firm and FBI

Mitch McDeere’s move from Harvard Law to a wealthy Memphis tax firm looks like the start of a high-powered career. But suspicious deaths among the partners, unusually strict security, and a culture where no one resigns turn the job into a source of danger. When the FBI asks Mitch to help bring the firm down, the novel’s legal setting becomes a conflict of competing pressures: the government threatens prosecution if he refuses, while the firm poses a more immediate threat if he cooperates. The premise brings workplace secrecy and institutional power into a suspense story centered on a lawyer whose professional success has placed him in a perilous position.

  • Readers interested in legal thrillers and suspense built around a law firm.

Book overview

#1 WORLDWIDE BESTSELLER - The iconic legal thriller that launched the career of America's favorite storyteller, hailed as "an absolute master" (The Washington Post)

"[An] ingenious man-in-the-middle thriller."--Entertainment Weekly

Mitch McDeere has worked hard to get where he is: third in his class at Harvard Law. Aggressively recruited by all the top firms, and initially headed for Wall Street, Mitch surprises everyone by joining Bendini, Lambert & Locke, a very private, very rich tax firm in Memphis. Mitch and his wife, Abby, move to Tennessee and quickly settle into their new life: they're young, happy, and on the fast track. Or so they think.

Soon, though, Mitch senses trouble: two of the partners die in a suspicious diving accident off Grand Cayman; the firm's management is overly proud of the fact that no one has ever resigned; and security measures at the firm, even for a company with billionaire clients, are more than a little stringent. Then, suddenly, Mitch's vague suspicions come to life.

The FBI has the lowdown on Mitch's firm and needs his help. Now Mitch is caught between a rock and a hard place. The FBI will bust him if he doesn't cooperate, and the firm will kill him if he does. There's no way out.

The story continues in The Exchange, the "breathtaking" (The Wall Street Journal) sequel to The Firm!
