Mitch McDeere Books in Order

The Firm introduced the world to Mitch McDeere, the brilliant Harvard Law graduate who thought he'd found his dream job at a small Memphis tax firm, only to discover his new employers were in bed with the mob. That novel spent nearly a year on the bestseller lists and launched Grisham's career into the stratosphere. It became one of those rare books that defined an entire genre, showing readers what happens when ambition meets corruption in the most dangerous ways possible. Thirty years after Mitch and Abby fled Memphis with the FBI and the Mafia on their heels, Grisham brought them back in The Exchange. Now living in Manhattan where Mitch is a partner at the world's largest law firm, the McDeeres have built a successful life far from their terrifying past. But when an old mentor in Rome asks for help with a case involving the Libyan government and a Turkish construction company, Mitch finds himself pulled into an international crisis involving terrorism, kidnapping, and ransom demands that threaten everything he's worked to build. The series shows how Mitch has evolved from a naive young lawyer seduced by money and prestige into a seasoned international attorney who knows how to navigate danger. But some things never change: Mitch still has a talent for finding himself in the middle of impossible situations, and he still relies on his wits, his wife Abby's strength, and his ability to stay one step ahead of disaster. These books work both as standalone thrillers and as a chronicle of one couple's journey from young professionals caught in a nightmare to experienced players in the high-stakes world of international law.
