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... "From the Hardcover edition.""

Mehso-so

Clay tries to sue drug companies to compensate victims of harmful drugs. Whorly was one of his clients, an he hated Clay‘s profit compared to his own, but 64k per case (- whorly‘s 43240) * thousands of cases = Clay‘s a millionare, so Whorly gets mad! Clay‘s greed after his first cases won affects how he handles his cases, and it comes back to haunt him. It‘s a fun book. My problem was goes out with models and fat shames women. Otherwise fun book

JohnLAndBenji Clay admits he wants Ridley partially for her body instead of why he likes her soul, and I found this to be shallow. If he had more of a soul connection with his girlfriends instead of talking about how attractive they were the whole time, I would have given this book a pick. I still want to give Grisham books another chance though. 2y

Sometimes you rise and fall quicker than you ever think is possible. Greed, greed, greed.

#funfridayphoto The book closest to me isn't even mine, it's my son's 😂. I'm having breakfast at the table where his college solicitations are piling up and he's supposed to be studying for his permit. Keeping it real! Not sure how this book would be useful in an alien invasion 🤔 👽

Spiderfelt Our kitchen table looks exactly the same way! 8y
ValerieAndBooks @Spiderfelt yeah, it's where everything ends up, it seems! It's weird, when I was growing up I spent a lot of time in my room including doing homework at a desk in there. But my kids have always preferred the kitchen table for that sort of thing (ok with me)! 8y
Spiderfelt Same and Same. It can be annoying to deal with the mess and the clutter sometimes, but I'm also thrilled that my kids prefer to be out in the middle of the house instead of barricaded in their rooms. 8y
ValerieAndBooks @Spiderfelt yes, exactly!! 8y
