”The Best Thriller Writer Alive” Ken Follett

There”s one last change for justice . . .

They dreamed of changing the world. Instead they”re facing a mountain of debt and no hope of a future.

Mark, Todd and Zola are starting to realise it”s not even worth graduating from law school. They”re better off hanging out at The Rooster Bar, plotting how to dodge the loan sharks.

But maybe there”s another way. Maybe they know enough about the law to pass as lawyers.

Because it turns out the crooked hedge fund billionaire who owns their law school also runs the bank that arranged their student loans.

And it”s time justice was served. Even if it means taking on the FBI to do it . . .

Review quote:

The 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

Review quote:
The 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

Review quote:
A
wild, hard-to-put-down romp

Review quote:

Smartly 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

Review quote:
Grisham 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

Review quote:

Good idea; good, vengeful execution
