Description

JUSTICE WILL BE SERVED.

You can't break the law if it's already broken.

Mark, Todd and Zola have yet to graduate from law school - they all have a mountain of debt and no promising future.

When they discover they're victims of an elaborate scam, they decide to do something about it. Their local drinking spot, The Rooster Bar, is the perfect place to plan their revenge: pose as fully trained lawyers, take on easy cases and pay off their debts.

But sometimes even the simplest plans can get out of hand: and soon they'll be taking on the FBI...

350+ million copies, 45 languages, 10 blockbuster films: JOHN GRISHAM IS THE MASTER OF THE LEGAL THRILLER

Reviews

The reason [Grisham is] so popular is because he's so good. If anything, he may be America's most underrated best selling author, because all he does is write compelling, page-turning fiction, book after book, year after year * Huffington Post *
The multi-layered plot is inventively sustained and, as always with Grisham, the scintillating storytelling serves to highlight a substantial issue: the ruinous repercussions of graduate debt and the scandal of "diploma mill" colleges * The Sunday Times *
A wild, hard-to-put-down romp * The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette *
Smartly told . . . Bravo to Grisham for using his star power to shine another spotlight on an all-too-real problem in this gratifying and all-too-real book * The Washington Post *
Grisham writes in such an inventive spirit . . . [a] buoyant, mischievous thriller . . . THE ROOSTER BAR is written with the same verve Grisham brought to this summer's CAMINO ISLAND with the same sense that this reliable best-selling author is feeling real pleasure, and not just obligation, in delivering his work * New York Times *
Good idea; good, vengeful execution * Janet Maslin, Independent *
Engrossing * Chris Roberts, CrimeReview.co.uk *
