Publisher's Summary

Number one New York Times best-selling author John Grisham's newest legal thriller takes you inside a law firm that's on shaky ground.

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 their crushing debt, expose the bank and the scam, and make a few bucks in the process. But to do so, they would first have to quit school. And leaving law school a few short months before graduation would be completely crazy, right? Well, yes and no...

Pull up a stool, grab a cold one, and get ready to spend some time at The Rooster Bar.

What the critics say

"With quiet certitude, narrator Ari Fliakos captures the mounting despair of three contemporary law students... Fliakos begins the story at a sedate pace but soon picks up speed to match the plot. He hits his stride as Mark, Todd, and Zola realize the bind they're in - and who might be to blame." (AudioFile)

Good Story

loved it! Interesting enough to keep me listening. Exciting enough to want to hear more. Intriguing enough to get feel anxious for characters.

Grisham is great as usual.

Nothing like a John Grisham book on a crisp fall day. Another great story told.

Flat

Not much to recommend. Poor story and flat narration. Nothing to get excited about. One long ramble through the legal world.

It took me awhile to listen to.

I listen to it, when I go to bed. It took me longer.
I really enjoyed the novel and thoroughly loved the narrator. The book was full of twists and turns, often leaving me a little panicked as to whether or not the three would be caught. I was rooting for them.
