Heavy rain falls on Lafferton. As the rain water slowly drains away, a shallow grave - and a skeleton - are revealed. It doesn'
t take long to identify the remains as those of missing teenager, Harriet Lowther, who was last seen sixteen years ago. But a cold case isn'
t a priority: if Detective Inspector Simon Serrailler is to solve the case, he will have to do it alone.

Grisham John

It'
s a deadly game of blackmail. And they'
re making him play. Kyle McAvoy is one of the outstanding legal students of his generation: he'
s good looking, has a brilliant mind and a glittering future ahead of him. But he has a secret from his past, a secret that threatens to destroy his entire life. One night that secret catches up with him in the form of a deeply compromising video of the incident that haunts him. Kyle realises that he no longer owns his own future - that he must do as his blackmailers tell him, or the video will be made public, with all the unpleasant consequences. What price do they demand for Kyle'
s secret? It is for Kyle to take a job in New York as an associate at the largest law firm in the world. Kyle won'
t be working for this company, but against it - passing on the secrets of it'
s biggest trial to date, a dispute worth billions of dollars to the victor. Full of twists and turns and reminiscent of The Firm, The Associate is vintage John Grisham.
