I love Grisham's books! They are so entertaining. I listened to the audio book and it was great. This is the story of three lawyers. Finley and Figg have a 'boutique' firm. That's what they like to call it. In their case it is true - in the original meaning of the word, which is 'small'. They have a secretary who spent so much time there threatening to sue them she just started answering the phone! They certainly aren't chic! Mostly they chase ambulances with some divorces and DUI's thrown in. Not much money is coming into the firm - even though they do lots of advertising in such places as bingo cards! And then one day David Zinc shows up. He is a Harvard Law School grad and he is drunk out of his mind. After working 80 hours a week for years at a prestigious law firm he cracks up one morning. Instead of getting out of the elevator to go to his office he takes it back down and finds a bar. The partners and David get involved in a law suit against a wonder drug which may be causing deaths or heart problems. The way they figure it there is lots of money to be made and the pharmaceutical company will probably just settle without going to trial. That would be a good thing because David has never tried a case and the others....well trial law would not be their specialty! It is a great read (or listen!).
