Back to Mitch McDeere, fifteen years on. He is forty-one, a partner at the biggest law firm in the world, flying around putting out fires for clients. Abby publishes books in Manhattan. They have twin sons. Life is comfortable, which is the setup.
Then an associate is kidnapped in Libya and the ransom demand is enormous.
I read this one before The Firm, which was an accident and not the right order. The Exchange assumes you remember what Mitch escaped from, and I was reconstructing that from context the whole way through.
Read October 2023. I went back for the original the following month.
