An absolutely amazing book. One I wish I had wrote.

Mitchell McDeere is sought after by one of the country's top law firms. Bendini, Lamdert & Locke from Memphis wants Mitchel and offer him wealth and a chance to start his promising legal career in ernest in exchange for his loyalty and service. They agree to pay his student loans, find him a new home, even offer him a brand new car. All this is too much for Mitchell to pass up, so he forgoes offers from firms in New York and Chicago and agrees to move to Memphis. But Mitchell soon finds out that he's in way over his head. The FBI wants to take down the firm because in reality, it's a front for one of the mafias most powerful crime families. And they need Mitchell's help to bring them to justice.
From here, it's a a remarkable game of cat and mouse as Mitchell, torn between two worlds, tries to escape with his life from the mobsters who will stop at nothing to keep their secret safe.

Like I said, I wish I wrote this book. It's that good.

Grw3 I agree with your review completely. It is a game of cat and mouse I never looked at it that way before. I have read every one of his books this is by far his best.
