No. 1 bestselling author John Grisham's newest legal thriller takes you inside a law firm that's on shaky ground. "A buoyant, mischievous thriller... Grisham writes in such an inventive spirit... A treat." - Janet Maslin, The New York Times. 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.
