Synopsis#1 NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER * Michael Brock is billing the hours, making the money, rushing relentlessly to the top of Drake & Sweeney, a giant D.C. law firm. One step away from partnership, Michael has it all. Then, in an instant, it all comes undone. The money was good and getting better; a partnership was three years away. He was a rising star with no time to waste, no time to stop, no time to toss a few coins into the cups of panhandlers. No time for a conscience. But a violent encounter with a homeless man stopped him cold. Michael survived; his assailant did not. Who was this man? Michael did some digging, and learned that he was a mentally ill veteran who'd been in and out of shelters for many years. Then Michael dug a little deeper, and found a dirty secret, and the secret involved Drake & Sweeney. The fast track derailed; the ladder collapsed. Michael bolted the firm and took a top-secret file with him. He landed in the streets, an advocate for the homeless, a street lawyer. And a thief. Don't miss John Grisham's new book, THE EXCHANGE: AFTER THE FIRM!, #1 NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER - Michael Brock is billing the hours, making the money, rushing relentlessly to the top of Drake & Sweeney, a giant D.C. law firm.

  • Not really a review.

    I have not read this book in several years and I have not had time to look it over now. I am buying for a collection of First Editions. It is as I remember, an excellent choice of reading material. With Grisham, you really cannot go wrong.

  • Excellent read

    I have recently started reading John Grisham‘s novels, and have read quite a few in the past couple of months. This one is my favorite so far. I think it’s because it shows what one person with a good heart can accomplish in this world.
