Wait till you meet Kyle McAvoy if you thought Mitch McDeere was in danger in The Firm.
Growing up, Kyle McAvoy worked at his father's York, Pennsylvania, small-town law practice. He was named editor-in-chief of The Yale Law Journal, succeeded in college, and has a bright career ahead of him.
However, Kyle has a dark secret—an incident from college that he has made an effort to forget. However, the secret ends up in the wrong hands, forcing Kyle to accept a position that he doesn't want—even if it's the kind of career that most law students can only imagine.
Three months after graduating from Yale, Kyle accepts a position as an associate at the biggest legal firm in the world. There, he will not only be forced to practice law but also to steal, lie, and conspire in a conspiracy that may land him in jail or worse.
The Associate is classic Grisham, with a fascinating cast of characters and villains that range from drug-addled trust fund kid and potential rapist Baxter Tate to calm former math teacher Dale who shares Kyle's cubicle at the law office.
