Character in Grisham novel from York

Shout out from best-selling author

John Grisham's new novel "The Associate" hit bookstores Tuesday.

The book's fictional main character, Kyle McAvoy, is a 25-year-old lawyer from York. (Holla!)

In a letter to readers on his Web site, Grisham said that McAvoy reminded him a lot of Mitch McDeere, the main character of "The Firm." (Tom Cruise played McDeere in the 1993 movie.)

A movie version of the "The Associate" is being developed by Paramount. Discuss here.
