About this ebook

'The Best Thriller Writer Alive' Ken Follett

There's one last change for justice . . .

They dreamed of changing the world. Instead they're facing a mountain of debt and no hope of a future.

Mark, Todd and Zola are starting to realise it's not even worth graduating from law school. They're better off hanging out at The Rooster Bar, plotting how to dodge the loan sharks.

But maybe there's another way. Maybe they know enough about the law to pass as lawyers.

Because it turns out the crooked hedge fund billionaire who owns their law school also runs the bank that arranged their student loans.

And it's time justice was served. Even if it means taking on the FBI to do it . . .

Wow i can leave a review without reading or even buying the book! Somehow that seems like a flawed system...im leaving 4 stars because its sort of an above average rating and i like grisham but seriously...the reason i am leaving this review at all is because i saw a couple of so called reviews from users who seemed to be ...well they seemed to be just writing stuff for the fun of it...fyi im going to share this on social media so others understand this weird system!!!

Brilliant novel again by Grisham, his story telling is phenomenal and this book is one of his best for years. I'm sure I have read all of Grisham's books, and although it can't be denied there was a marked lull in quality, some of his recent offerings have been excellent. While this novel isn't a patch on things like A Time To Kill or The Rainmaker, it's certainly one of his best of recent times. Give it a read, you won't be disappointed

From the moment I started reading this book, I was captivated by the story line and the journey of the 4 friends. When I finally finished reading this novel, all I did in the end was to burst out laughing cos I loved the ending. Read it and you won't ever regret it.

About the author

John Grisham as a child dreamed of being a professional baseball player. After graduating from law school at Ole Miss in 1981, he went on to practice law for nearly a decade, specializing in criminal defense and personal injury litigation. One day, Grisham overheard the harrowing testimony of a twelve-year-old rape victim and was inspired to start a novel exploring what would have happened if the girl's father had murdered her assailants. Getting up at 5 a.m. every day to get in several hours of writing time before heading off to work, Grisham spent three years on A Time to Kill and finished it in 1987.

His next novel, The Firm, spent 47 weeks on The New York Times bestseller list and became the bestselling novel of 1991. Since then, he has written one novel a year, including The Client, The Pelican Brief, The Rainmaker and The Runaway Jury. Today, Grisham has written a collection of stories, a work of nonfiction, three sports novels, four kids' books, and many legal thrillers. His work has been translated into 42 languages. He lives near Charlottesville, Virginia.
