About the Author

“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.”
—Chicago Tribune *

“ENSNARES THE READER … has the distinct merit of holding up as a
thriller for the long haul.”
—The Washington Post Book World
“The accelerating tempo of paranoia-driven events is WONDERFUL:
clandestine meetings, predawn prowlings, a dangerous pursuit … leading
to the fine ironic finish.”
—Los Angeles Times
“DYNAMITE!”
—Upfront: Advance Reviews
“Hallucinatory entertainment … TERRIFICALLY EXCITING … GRIPS AND
PROPELS.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“TRULY EXCEPTIONAL … like a cross between Scott Turow and Mario
Puzo, Grisham not only sets up his story well, he sees it through all the
way to an unpredictable end.”
—Book Talk
“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
“A WINNER … positioned to fly off the bookshelves … Grisham, a
criminal defense lawyer, has an eye for the details of his profession.
wherever his plot goes, the novel carries the authenticity of someone who
has been there and was paying attention.”
—The Commercial Appeal (Memphis)
“A MEAN-AND-LEAN PAGE-TURNER … Grisham writes without fat: his
dialogue crackles.”
—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.”
