#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - A tremendously entertaining legal thriller, filled with the kind of courtroom strategies, theatrics, and suspense that have won John Grisham acclaim as "an absolute master" (The Washington Post).
After leaving a fast-track legal career and going on a serious bender, David Zinc is sober, unemployed, and desperate enough to take a job at Finley & Figg, a self-described "boutique law firm" that is anything but.
Oscar Finley and Wally Figg are in fact just two ambulance chasers who bicker like an old married couple. But now, with their new associate on board, the firm is ready to tackle a case that could make the partners rich--without requiring them to actually practice much law.
A class action suit has been brought against Varrick Labs, a pharmaceutical giant with annual sales of $25 billion, alleging that Krayoxx, its most popular drug, causes heart attacks. Wally smells money. All Finley & Figg has to do is find a handful of Krayoxx users to join the suit. It almost seems too good to be true . . . and it is.

Captured my attention one first page with variety of unexpected twist. Have always been pleased with Graham writings. Highly recommend reading .
Grisham is the best at his game. Loved this one. It was a departure from the murder/crime ones he usually writes like A Time To Kill or A Time For Mercy (I loved those too). Grisham showed his mastery of the legal system and writing by making a class action lawsuit a page turning novel. Hope he writes another lehso thriller involving civil cases (outside of Sycamore Row).
If you like legal stories, you will love this book. Wally and Oscar are not your usual attorneys...the entrance of a Harvard educated lawyer changes their lives forever. This book was very readable and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Grisham always does it best!!!
I really enjoyed this one especially because it definitely had some humor in it. The characters were all very interesting!I’m on a roll, about to read my 6th JG book.
I really enjoyed this book and ordered two more Gresham books while reading it. Now I want to read them all, and should have known that years ago when I read 'A Time to Kill.'
