ASSOCIATE, THE by Phillip Margolin - SIGNED BOOK - ADVANCE READING COPY

Daniel Ames is living the American dream. Though born into poverty and living on the streets by the age of fifteen, Daniel has overcome every obstacle — and now is an associate at Reed, Briggs, Portland's most prestigious law firm, earning more money than he ever imagined possible. But when Aaron Flynn enters his life, Daniel finds himself caught between his towering ambition and his bedrock idealism. Flynn, a charismatic civil litigator, sues Geller Pharmaceuticals — Reed, Briggs's biggest client — for manufacturing a drug that he claims causes unspeakable birth defects. Daniel is certain the claim has no merit — until a memo written by a Geller scientist is found, detailing the shocking results of a study that implicates the company in a horrific lie.
