The Litigators by John Grisham

A High-Stakes Legal Thriller From the Master of the Genre

Good Condition – A well-read copy that is still solid. The spine is uncreased but shows wear at the ends and age marks.

The Litigators follows the story of David a young Harvard-educated lawyer who has worked too hard and thinks a bit too much for his boring but well paid job. One day he cracks and ends up working for Finley and Figg. Oscar Finley and Wally Figg run this ‘boutique’ law firm and specialise in injury cases and car wrecks. Oscar worries about the finances and hopes for retirement, while Wally looks for the next big case that will make them millions, never finding one. Then Wally stumbles upon goldmine. One of his old clients is struck dead by a heart attack. His son is putting the blame on the cholesterol drug Krayoxx, developed by the unscrupulous pharmaceutical firm Varrick Laboratories.

Wally smells millions and armed with some promising research embarks on an whirlwind adventure to find more cases and joins the mass tort case stirring up in different parts of the country. David finds himself thrown into this case with little experience and little confidence in the partners at Finley and Figg.

It’s an engaging story, with several laugh-out-loud moments particularly the courtroom scene, when Oscar finds himself in trouble and Wally sees the funny side. The book will keep you guessing until the end and will leave you with a smile.
