#1 WORLDWIDE BESTSELLER • The iconic legal thriller that launched the career of America’s favorite storyteller, hailed as “an absolute master” (The Washington Post)
“[An] ingenious man-in-the-middle thriller.”—Entertainment Weekly
Mitch McDeere has worked hard to get where he is: third in his class at Harvard Law. Aggressively recruited by all the top firms, and initially headed for Wall Street, Mitch surprises everyone by joining Bendini, Lambert & Locke, a very private, very rich tax firm in Memphis. Mitch and his wife, Abby, move to Tennessee and quickly settle into their new life: they’re young, happy, and on the fast track. Or so they think.
Soon, though, Mitch senses trouble: two of the partners die in a suspicious diving accident off Grand Cayman; the firm’s management is overly proud of the fact that no one has ever resigned; and security measures at the firm, even for a company with billionaire clients, are more than a little stringent. Then, suddenly, Mitch’s vague suspicions come to life.
The FBI has the lowdown on Mitch’s firm and needs his help. Now Mitch is caught between a rock and a hard place. The FBI will bust him if he doesn’t cooperate, and the firm will kill him if he does. There’s no way out.
Or is there?
The story continues in The Exchange, the “breathtaking” (The Wall Street Journal) sequel to The Firm!

Movie Filming of " 11th Hour " at Bluff Park Rare Books on Broadway in Long
Beach Finished Shooting Recently. The Entire Movie for Fox Was Shot in the
Bookstore. Film Called, The 11th Hour, Had to do with Strangers meeting a Grown
up Alice in Wonderland on Rainy Night in the Bookstore. My how Alice Has Changed
!Filming of the Movie The Eleventh Hour aka The Journey Beneath Alice's Bed was
An Original Screenplay by David Daniels . This is Foxs way of Discovering New &
Upcoming Filmmakers & Actors & Camera People ETC, And it started Raining right
on Cue when Filming Started ! The Filmmakers are doing this Short Film on a
Relatively Small Budget , but who knows it Might Become the Next Blair Witch
Project. It Will be Shown on TV's Bravo , Fox Family Channel & on the Internet
! It Turned out to be a Wonderful Experience & the Cast & Crew were Delightful.
After 12 Hours or so of shooting, Around 4 A.M. each morning when filming
concluded for that day , they were careful to put everything Back in its
Original Place. Filming in such Cramped Quarters must have been a Challenge for
the Young Filmmakers ! One of the Stars of the Film is Dead Ringer for a Rita
Hayworth lookalike ! Other Characters were a Devil, Billionaire, Derelict, Etc.
They also used a Lightning Machine whose Bright Light seemed to Give People
Headaches & Many Wore Sunglasses During the Shoot ! They rented the recently
Closed Antique Store next door to us for the Food Catering & for Actors to Hang
out in waiting for Their Scenes !We At BPRB would highly recommend the Rental of
