The Litigators by John Grisham

David Zinc has worked for the Rogan Rothberg company, one of six hundred lawyers working fifteen hours a day 24-7. He arrives at work one morning, burned out, dreading one more day of work for this firm, turns around and heads out, not clear what he is going to do with his wife and for a job, but he has had it. Hitting a local bar, he proceeds to get plastered, in a nice way and the bartender finally calls a cab and sends him on his way. Seeing an ad for a couple of ambulance chasers, Finley & Figg, he tells the cab driver to take him there. When he gets there, he stumbles in, announces that he wants to go to work for them and collapses on the couch.

Grisham pens the greatest tongue-in-cheek novel about down-on-their-luck lawyers and how a really good guy (David Zinc of course) becomes an amazing litigator determined to do a good job. I recommend this latest novel. You will be highly entertained.
