Publisher's Summary

Number one New York Times best-selling author John Grisham's newest legal thriller takes you inside a law firm that's on shaky ground.

Mark, Todd, and Zola came to law school to change the world, to make it a better place. But now, as third-year students, these close friends realize they have been duped. They all borrowed heavily to attend a third-tier, for-profit law school so mediocre that its graduates rarely pass the bar exam, let alone get good jobs. And when they learn that their school is one of a chain owned by a shady New York hedge-fund operator who also happens to own a bank specializing in student loans, the three know they have been caught up in The Great Law School Scam.

But maybe there's a way out. Maybe there's a way to escape their crushing debt, expose the bank and the scam, and make a few bucks in the process. But to do so, they would first have to quit school. And leaving law school a few short months before graduation would be completely crazy, right? Well, yes and no...

Pull up a stool, grab a cold one, and get ready to spend some time at The Rooster Bar.

What the critics say

"With quiet certitude, narrator Ari Fliakos captures the mounting despair of three contemporary law students... Fliakos begins the story at a sedate pace but soon picks up speed to match the plot. He hits his stride as Mark, Todd, and Zola realize the bind they're in - and who might be to blame." (AudioFile)

Don’t make this into a movie!

This is not one of John Grisham’s better stories. I have loved most of the others. The narrator wasn’t the best for this story but I did muster my way through all 10 hours of this!

Light entertainment

This is relatively light - suitable for the times when you just don’t want anything mind boggling. The plot is quite straightforward. Three final year students of a for-profit law school dropped out of school, and trawled the corridors of the court house and hospitals, offering their “legal” services. Their target was people charged for DUI, and tort cases. But their good luck soon ran out.
