The Associate

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 fledgling career and, possibly, his entire life.

One night that secret catches up with him in the form of some bad men in a dark alley – they have a deeply compromising video of the incident that haunts him.

What price do they demand for Kyle’s secret? Strangely, it is for Kyle to do exactly what any ambitious young lawyer would want to do: take a job in New York as an associate at the largest law firm in the world.

However, Kyle won’t be working for the company, but against it – passing on the secrets of the firm’s biggest trial to date, a dispute between two defence contractors worth billions of dollars to the victor. Now Kyle is caught between the criminal forces manipulating him, and the FBI, who would love to unmask the conspiracy.

Full of twists and turns and reminiscent of , The Firm The Associate is vinateg John Grisham.
