The Rooster Bar
<b>#1 <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author</b> <b>John Grisham’s newest legal thriller takes you inside a law firm that’s on shaky ground.<br /></b><br /><b>“[A] buoyant, mischievous thriller . . . Grisham writes in such an inventive spirit. . . . A treat.”—Janet Maslin, <i>The New York Times</i></b><br /> <b> </b><br /> Mark, Todd, and Zola came to law school to change the world, to make it a better place. But now, as third-year students, these close friends realize they have been duped. They all borrowed heavily to attend a third-tier for-profit 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 specializing in student loans, the three know they have been caught up in The Great Law School Scam.<br />  <br /> But maybe there’s 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 would first have to quit school. And leaving law school a few short months before graduation would be completely crazy, right? Well, yes and no . . .<br />  <br /> Pull up a stool, grab a cold one, and get ready to spend some time at <i>The Rooster Bar</i>.<br />  <br /><b> “Satisfying . . . Grisham [is] at his best when he brings his sardonic sense of humor to the sometimes questionable ethics of law and banking.”<i>—USA Today</i></b><br />  <br /><b> “[A] smartly told tale . . . gratifying and all-too-real.”<i>—The Washington Post</i></b>
