‘Firm’ sequel out this fall

The king of the legal thriller is coming back — and he’s bringing a fan favourite with him.

John Grisham has written a sequel to his smash-hit novel “The Firm,” which will also see character Mitch McDeere return as the protagonist.

“The Exchange: After The Firm” is scheduled to be released by Doubleday on Oct. 17.

Published in 1991, “The Firm” was Grisham’s second novel and quickly became a bestseller. It kicked off a series of legal thrillers, mostly set in the American South, including “A Time to Kill,” “Runaway Jury” and others, many of which were later turned into movies.
