The Firm
(John Gisham)
Many have seen the movie, but believe me the book is still worth the read. The book begins with the main character Mitch McDeere who is in desperate need of a job, interviewing with the law firm of Bendini, Lambert & Locke of Memphis. What makes this law firm so unique (and Mitch doesn't know any of this until it is too late) is they only hire a certain type of person. They have to be married, ambitious, and white. What makes Mitch different then most lawyers is that he comes from poverty and has a brother serving time. Of course Mitch takes the job and moves his pretty wife Abby to Memphis to work for the International tax law firm. They wine and dine in him by giving him money for a home, a new BMW and other perks that are sure to impress the young and naive and of course win his loyalty. Well, the reader can tell pretty quickly that something is defiantly wrong with this law firm. Right off, they bug Mitch?s house and phone lines in order to monitor his daily life. And by Chapter 5 two lawyers are suddenly killed. . In the meantime Mitch is getting smart and knows that something most be going on in the firm. So, he hires a private to look into the deaths of the five lawyers from the firm. Well, the FBI is on to the firm and they approach Mitch and present him with an offer that he can?t refuse And this is where the book gets good in true John Gisham style. Mitch must race against the clock to try to get enough evidence against the firm, save his brother, and get out of this little scheme in a better situation then when he started it. Does that mean he fully cooperates with the FBI? Does he truly turn his back on his lawyer firm? These questions can all be answered by reading this wonderful page turner of a book. >
