Do you want to be Mitch McDeere?

I don’t want to be in the shoes of Mitch McDeere – ever! I don’t want the low rate mortgage. I don’t want business trips to the Cayman Islands and I don’t want the BMW in color of my choice. Imagine being a lawyer fresh out of law school with multiple job offers – some of them from established Wall Street firms. And then the little known law firm from Memphis comes along to make a tempting offer that no one in their right mind would want to refuse. For someone who doesn’t have a secure childhood to boast of, it’s almost like Manna from heaven! A proof that you have arrived in life!

So Mitch takes the offer and moves to Memphis along with his pretty wife Abby. But something is rotten in the state of Memphis. The firm office on Front Street is like an iceberg – it conceals more than what it reveals. It surely is on the right street as the law firm is a “front” for something else.

Mitch is clueless till the Fibbies walk in – though not through the front door. The real game starts then – a game of wits and courage, of fear and resolve, of doubt and certainty. Finally, the hunted turns into a hunter and leads the Mafia, the FBI - and the readers - through the motels across America’s quiet little towns and beachfronts.
