The office of the public defender is not known as a training ground for bright young litigators. Clay Carter has been there too long and, like most of his colleagues, dreams of a better job in a real firm. When he reluctantly takes the case of a young man charged with a random street killing, he assumes 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...

This thrilling high stakes story really kept me entertained on the long car journeys to London ;)

great story for long drives

Usual Grisham, so a good book overall. Narration was okay too, but for the narrator not knowing what a Georgian accent sounds like. I do however have a problem with the ending. It sounded to me like the most tacked on, it'll-do ending I've ever heard. It was like a sum up and conclusion to the story in 1 short paragraph, accompanied by some weird music that hadn't been in the rest of the book. Even the narration sounded odd. Apart from that, it was okay

Good, except for the ending

An interesting explanation of how class actions can go wrong, but a bit tedious and the characters were flat. Have read far better Grishams.

Disappointing
