Sequel to The Firm with lawyer Mitch now living in NY.  The story ends up being an international political thriller which is fine but there are some holes.  1) Mitch moves to NY to escape the mob from Memphis and claims no one knows about him. 2) Mitch travels back to Memphis for work and one of the partners from the original firm is bitter about what went down. Mitch seems really offended by this.  3) The story has a complicated international kidnapping/ransom story that seems a bit unbelievable for me. Vacation read.
