Mitchell Y. McDeere is primed for success: third in his Harvard law class, eager and hungry for the rewards he has worked for, McDeere is thrilled by the high salary and perks offered by the Memphis firm of Bendini, Lambert and Locke.

He and his wife Abby head for Memphis with high hopes. But what they discover is so unsettling that all their material rewards are of no comfort.

McDeere's suspicions are aroused by the firm's excessive security and the strange "accidental" deaths of two associates. By the time the FBI informs him that the posh "law firm" is most assuredly not a law firm, McDeere is trapped in the opulent and lethal web of deceit.

Should he play along and protect himself or work with the FBI and risk becoming the next "accident?" In his first novel, John Grisham unfolds a suspenseful tale of illegal intrigue that grabs you on page one and never lets go.
