1"Un exuberante y malicioso thriller. . . Grisham escribe con un esp ritu tan ingenioso. . . Una delicia de lectura". - Janet Maslin, The New York Times
Mark, Todd y Zola decidieron estudiar Derecho en Washington para cambiar el mundo, para hacer de l un lugar mejor. Pero ahora que est n en el tercer a o de carrera, se dan cuenta de que han sido v ctimas de un fraude: pidieron un cuantioso pr stamo para estudiar en lo que ha terminado siendo una escuela de segunda categor a, centrada en ganar dinero, y tan mediocre que los alumnos rara vez aprueban el examen final. Investigando, descubren que el centro forma parte de una cadena operada por un fondo de dudosa reputaci n que, adem s, tambi n dirige un banco especializado en pr stamos estudiantiles. Sin embargo, no todo est perdido. Puede que haya una forma de librarse de la deuda, desenmascarar al banco, destapar el fraude y sacar provecho al mismo tiempo. Pero para que el plan tenga xito, tendr n que abandonar la escuela sin graduarse, lo que ser a una locura... O quiz no. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION #1 New York Times bestselling author John Grisham's newest legal thriller takes you inside a law firm that's on shaky ground. " A] buoyant, mischievous thriller . . . Grisham writes in such an inventive spirit. . . . A treat."--Janet Maslin, The New York Times 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. 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 . . . Pull up a stool, grab a cold one, and get ready to spend some time at The Rooster Bar. "Satisfying . . . Grisham is] at his best when he brings his sardonic sense of humor to the sometimes questionable ethics of law and banking."--USA Today " A] smartly told tale . . . gratifying and all-too-real."--The Washington Post
