Sinossi
Una laurea a Harvard e un contratto da favola con un prestigioso studio legale di Memphis. Per Mitchell McDeere e sua moglie Abby il futuro non potrebbe essere più roseo. Tutto perfetto, insomma. Almeno all'apparenza. Peccato infatti che l'Fbi pretenda proprio da lui le prove dei loschi affari che lo studio Bendini, Lambert & Locke gestisce per conto della mafia. E peccato che i soci anziani del suddetto studio abbiano la strana abitudine di far eliminare i collaboratori infedeli. Tallonato dall'Fbi, minacciato dalla mafia, Mitchell è in trappola. A meno che non riesca a mettere in atto la più formidabile delle beffe... Dalla penna di John Grisham, il bestseller internazionale che ha ispirato l'omonimo successo cinematografico diretto da Sidney Pollack e interpretato da Tom Cruise.

it's not that this book necessarily deserves a 1, being the worst score possible, but... it's just so fucking dumb. I only finished it because I'm stuck in between 4 rice fields in japan, and the only reading I had available in english was. well. the label on my pepsi bottle. IF you happen to be a 40 Leggi tutto
This was my first read by Grisham in 1993 and I can truthfully say that the thrill is NOT gone. The Firm is brilliant and reminds me why I have continued to devour one Grisham title after another for the past 30 years. Mitch and Abby are unstoppable and I can't wait to see what happens in Book 2. Al Leggi tutto
