#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Michael Brock is billing the hours, making the money, rushing relentlessly to the top of Drake & Sweeney, a giant D.C. law firm. One step away from partnership, Michael has it all. Then, in an instant, it all comes undone. A homeless man takes nine lawyers hostage in the firm&’s plush offices. When it is all over, the man&’s blood is splattered on Michael&’s face—and suddenly Michael is willing to do the unthinkable. Rediscovering a conscience he lost long ago, Michael is leaving the big time for the streets where his attacker once lived—and where society&’s powerless need an advocate for justice. But there&’s one break Michael can&’t make: from a secret that has floated up from the depths of Drake & Sweeney, from a confidential file that is now in Michael&’s hands, and from a conspiracy that has already taken lives. Now Michael&’s former partners are about to become his bitter enemies. Because to them, Michael Brock is the most dangerous man on the streets.Don&’t miss John Grisham&’s new book, THE EXCHANGE: AFTER THE FIRM!
