The Exchange: A sequel to The Firm

John Grisham has written a follow-up to his bestselling novel, The Firm, titled The Exchange. The story follows Mitch McDear as he goes globe-trotting to deal with contracts in Libya. The book begins with a prelude where Mitch does pro-bono work for a man on death row who ends up killing himself. Grisham's interest in wrongful convictions and advocacy work is reflected in the book, as he has written nonfiction and fiction stories about this topic. He describes the tremendous drama and injustice surrounding wrongful convictions, and he is currently working on a second nonfiction book that will include ten wrongful conviction stories.
