{"product_id":"grisham-the-rooster-bar","title":"The Rooster Bar","description":"Review\n\nThe 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 -- Michael Levin, New York Times bestselling author ― Huffington Post\n\nThe 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\n\nA wild, hard-to-put-down romp ― The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette\n\nSmartly 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\n\nGrisham 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\n\nGood idea; good, vengeful execution ― Janet Maslin, Independent\n\nEngrossing ― Chris Roberts, CrimeReview.co.uk\n\nProduct Description\n\n'The Best Thriller Writer Alive' Ken Follett\n\nJohn Grisham's legal thriller takes you inside a law firm that shouldn't exist.\n\nLaw students Mark, Todd and Zola wanted to change the world - to make it a better place. But these days these three disillusioned friends spend a lot of time hanging out in The Rooster Bar, the place where Todd serves drinks. As third-year students, they realise they have been duped. They all borrowed heavily to attend a law school so mediocre that its graduates rarely pass the bar exam, let alone get good jobs. And when they learn that their school is one of a chain owned by a shady New York hedge-fund operator who also happens to own a bank specialising in student loans, the three realise they have been caught up in The Great Law School Scam.\n\nSo they begin plotting a way out. Maybe there's a way to escape their crushing debt, expose the bank and the scam, and make a few bucks in the process. But to do so, they have to leave law school, pretend they are qualified and go into battle with a billionaire and the FBI . . .\n\nIngenious, immersive and page-turning, The Rooster Bar is a John Grisham legal thriller bar none.\n\nBook Description\n\n'The best thriller writer alive' KenFollett\n\nFrom the Inside Flap\n\n'The Best Thriller Writer Alive' Ken Follett\n\nJohn Grisham's newest legal thriller takes you inside a law firm that shouldn't exist.\n\nLaw students Mark, Todd and Zola wanted to change the world - to make it a better place.
