Product Description:
Kyle McAvoy possesses an outstanding legal mind. Good-looking and affable, he has a glittering future. He also has a dark secret that could destroy his dreams, his career, even his life. One night that secret catches up with him. The men who accost Kyle have a compromising video they’ll use to ruin him–unless he does exactly what they say. What they offer Kyle is something any ambitious young lawyer would kill for: a job in Manhattan as an associate at the world’s largest law firm. If Kyle accepts, he’ll be on the fast track to partnership and a fortune. But there’s a catch. Kyle won’t be working for the firm but against it in a dispute between two powerful defense contractors worth billions. Now Kyle is caught between the criminal forces manipulating him, the FBI, and his own law firm–in a malignant conspiracy not even Kyle with all his intellect, cunning, and bravery may be able to escape alive.

This is a very interesting plot, but in the end...it is non-sensical. Totally anti-climactic. I am just glad that I only paid 50 cents at a book sale...that's about all it's worth.

As an avid fan of John Grisham's previous work I was greatly looking forward to The Associate when it came available in paperback.

As I read Kyle's story, I kept hoping it would get better. However, there are some parts that were ... Read More

There is some good writing here. The prose, for what it is, works seamlessly. Its tight and keeps a good feeling of suspense from one page to the next.
HOWEVER...
The plot here is one of the worst i have ever come across. It hinges upon the protagonist (the story starts with 'Kyle' being picked up by a few police officers) & a just horribly conceived bit of plotting. It was painful to work through several pages of great writing on one hand that was on the other, leading to ... Read More

John, This truly is a disaster. You can't be serious about the ending of this novel! I was enjoying the first part and then it started to drag on for no real fun reason. And I was getting towards the end and hoping for some excitement and then with absolutely no bang...The End....
