What became of Mitch and Abby McDeere after they exposed the crimes of Memphis law firm Bendini, Lambert & Locke and fled the country? The answer is in The Exchange, the riveting sequel to The Firm, the blockbuster thriller that launched the career of America's favorite storyteller. It is now fifteen years later, and Mitch and Abby are living in Manhattan, where Mitch is a partner at the largest law firm in the world. When a mentor in Rome asks him for a favor that will take him far from home, Mitch finds himself at the center of a sinister plot that has worldwide implications--and once again endangers his colleagues, friends, and family. Mitch has become a master at staying one step ahead of his adversaries, but this time there's nowhere to hide.
Grisham delivers a breathtaking update on the McDeeres and the life they made ... The book becomes in part a moral thriller ... Mr. Grisham, in vintage form, ratchets up the suspense in this winning sequel to its well-known predecessor.
Should be a delicious gift to Grisham fans. But once you’ve read it, you might find yourself wishing that Mitch, last seen slipping out of sight while Bendini, Lambert & Locke imploded, had simply decided to while away his days in moneyed obscurity ... Since his 1989 debut, A Time to Kill, Grisham has been remarkably prolific and often wonderful. I love his books, but I wish he hadn’t written this one.
A baffling book ... An international kidnapping melodrama, with a victim we don't care about and a bizarre opening 40 pages that have nothing to do with anything that comes after.
