It was pretty good, kinda boring with all the tort law stuff, but that is what it is, it comes with the territory I guess. The problem is that none of the characters were all too likeable, and that it shows how dated it is when the men scoff about how the girl they are interested in is rumored to also like girls...it adds nothing and just shows how dated the book is. Between this and the Brethren, I’m surprised we have issues with Dr. Seuss but the lgbtq community hasn’t taken up issue with Grisham. I know, I know. I should have grown out of Grisham years ago and I did really but sometimes I forget and think maybe this time he's recaptured that trick he used to suck me into his first book so completely. Alas, with this one, he has not. I did read it to the end but bascially, I knew the plot before I got to page 25. Lawyer is basically good human but gets greedy, feels bad, goes down in flames, gets the girl and learns his lesson. no reviews | add a review

Clay Carter, a public defender, reluctantly takes the case of a young man charged with a random street killing, assuming it is just another of the many senseless murders that hit D.C. every week. As he digs into the background of his client, Clay stumbles on a conspiracy too horrible to believe. He suddenly finds himself in the middle of a complex case against one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world, looking at the kind of enormous settlement that would totally change his life--that would make him almost overnight, the legal profession's newest king of torts.
