Джон Гришем (John Grisham)“SAVVY, CRISP PORTRAITS OF LAWYERS ON THE MAKE … WELL-PACED … HARROWING … Grisham’s villains shine, mainly because he has given them dimension and intelligence.… And McDeere is a likable straight arrow who … throws just enough back at his bosses to put us on his side.… Grisham knows his lawyers and hands them their just deserts.”

“My boyfriend stood on his head and performed other tricks designed to get my attention, but I couldn’t tear myself away from the last chapter of The Firm long enough to notice. when I was finally done, he grabbed the book and disappeared for hours. a rare accord … NAIL-BITING SUSPENSE … terrific characterizations … Mitch and Abby, two entirely believable folks, [are] among the most likable in recent fiction.”
—Louise Bernikow, Cosmopolitan

—New Woman
“Gripping … unusual and absorbing … READERS WILL BE TOTALLY HOOKED.… Grisham, a criminal defense attorney, describes law office procedures at the highest levels, smoothly meshing them with the criminal events of the narrative.”
