The Exchange

The long-awaited sequel to The Firm: John Grisham returns to the story of Mitch McDeere in a high-stakes international thriller.

Fifteen years after exposing the crimes of a Memphis law firm and fleeing the country, Mitch McDeere is now a high-flying partner at the world’s largest law firm in Manhattan. When a mentor in Rome asks him for a favor, Mitch finds himself at the center of a sinister plot that has global implications.

The assignment—to represent a prominent construction company in a billion-dollar dispute—takes him to Libya, where he is thrust into a terrifying hostage situation. As Mitch races against time to meet a series of impossible demands, he must navigate a web of international conspiracies that stretch from New York to Rome and the volatile landscapes of the Middle East. The Exchange is a masterful legal thriller that combines Grisham’s signature courtroom tension with the relentless pace of a global manhunt.
