#1 WORLDWIDE BESTSELLER • The iconic legal thriller that launched the career of America’s favorite storyteller, hailed as “an absolute master” (The Washington Post)

“[An] ingenious man-in-the-middle thriller.”—Entertainment Weekly

Mitch McDeere has worked hard to get where he is: third in his class at Harvard Law. Aggressively recruited by all the top firms, and initially headed for Wall Street, Mitch surprises everyone by joining Bendini, Lambert & Locke, a very private, very rich tax firm in Memphis. Mitch and his wife, Abby, move to Tennessee and quickly settle into their new life: they’re young, happy, and on the fast track. Or so they think.

Soon, though, Mitch senses trouble: two of the partners die in a suspicious diving accident off Grand Cayman; the firm’s management is overly proud of the fact that no one has ever resigned; and security measures at the firm, even for a company with billionaire clients, are more than a little stringent. Then, suddenly, Mitch’s vague suspicions come to life.

The FBI has the lowdown on Mitch’s firm and needs his help. Now Mitch is caught between a rock and a hard place. The FBI will bust him if he doesn’t cooperate, and the firm will kill him if he does. There’s no way out.

Or is there?

The story continues in The Exchange, the “breathtaking” (The Wall Street Journal) sequel to The Firm! Crime Thrillers Legal Suspense Thriller & Suspense Law Thriller Fiction Crime

Great book. I was annoyed by the awful Caribbean accent. If you can't sound like people from the Cayman Islands, don't even try. I cringed every time I heard it.

Caribbean accents don't sound like that

Loved this book and it’s narration. I’m sure I will be disappointed when I watch the movie but the book will keep you wanting to keep listening.

Awesome

Even to this day, the plotting with its twists is enough to grab any reader's attention. If there is ever to be any revisions, I would suggest the writer become more familiar with West Indian culture. The lingo the behavior is completely off so much that it could irritate readers and listeners. People in the Caribbean Islands do not say "mon" every time they open their mouths.

The story is timeless

I grew up watching the movie, figured it was time I read the book. It’s really excellent! A bit different in the end than the movie, but I can see why those choices were made and I enjoy both equally.

Finally listened to the book
