This is a typical Grisham novel. It was interesting and I generally learn something new. In a year filled with politics maybe I really don't want to think about what might be going on behind closed doors! Of course this IS a novel - it isn't true....I'm sure this sort of thing doesn't happen......
The book opens with a jury bring back a shocking verdict - they have found a chemical company guilty of causing a cancer cluster and given the plaintiff( a young woman who lost her husband and son within 6 months of each other) a verdict of 41 million dollars. The company immediately starts an appeal to the Supreme Court of Mississippi. They want to be sure those 9 justices are on their side..... thus begins the intrigue. I liked this book a lot and you can't figure out who is going to do what. Good guy? Bad guy? - hard to tell in this political arena.
