The Associate by John Grisham

Kyle McAvoy is editor of the Law Review at Yale and has a bright future ahead of him…until an indiscretion from college rears its ugly head. He is blackmailed by the mysterious Bennie Wright who has a video of the incident. Kyle must a) forget doing community law work and head right to a mega-big law firm in New York; b) get into the litigation section; c) steal documents from a big case and d) all his troubles will go away. Yeah, right.

No mystery or intrigue here; and the only suspense is who is Bennie and who’s he working for. I kept reading hoping for a good end, but was disappointed.
