The best thriller writer alive, Ken Follett, presents John Grisham's newest legal thriller that takes you inside a law firm that shouldn't exist. Law students Mark, Todd, and Zola wanted to change the world and make it a better place. But these days, these three disillusioned friends spend a lot of time hanging out in The Rooster Bar, where Todd serves drinks. As third-year students, they realize they have been duped. They all borrowed heavily to attend a law school so mediocre that its graduates rarely pass the bar exam, let alone get good jobs. When they learn that their school is part of a chain owned by a shady New York hedge-fund operator who also owns a bank specializing in student loans, the three realize they have been caught up in the great law school scam. So they begin plotting a way out. Maybe there's a way to escape their crushing debt and expose the bank and the scam.
