The Firm by John Grisham was his second book published and most of us remember the subsequent movie starring Tom Cruise. I recently came across a copy and despite already knowing the story, it was still an action packed and nail biting ride.
From the cover:
Mitch McDeere is witty, wily, and number three in his class at Harvard Law School. So it'sno surprise when he receives a job offer from one of the most selective law firms in the country. But the biggest surprise of all comes after itch reports to work. Five of his bright young predecessors at the firm are dead, and the FBI would like to know why. So would Mitch - before he's next.
