The Associate by John Grisham
All Kyle wants is the life of a small town lawyer like his dad. Unfortunately, he has to go in for a big time law firm as as associate with miserably long hours and duties that damage his sense of pride in himself. Can he get out of the mess he has been thrown into? Could those who were there when the indiscretions occurred help save him from a cruel fate? All answered by the end of the book though perhaps not in an expected way.
Are there law firms in existence in New York like the one Kyle is made to work for? I suppose there is that possibility. If I were a lawyer I certainly wouldn't care to work for them.
Among other things, Grisham's knowledge of New York and also how the law works in the USA comes to the fore. He also has a great grasp of modern gadgetry including spyware and bugs.
The Associate is a great read, highly recommended.
