The Litigator by John Grisham

Title:  The Litigator
Author: John Grisham
Did I listen or read?: library book
When did I finish?: Aug 1, 2012
When was the book published: 2012
Main Characters: David Zinc is a lawyer in a machine, has a breakdown, and walks away.  He stumbles into the inept 2 man firm of Finley and Figg, where Oscar Finley is desperate to leave his wife and retire, and Wally Figg is desperate to find the big payday and strike it rich.  They stumble on a drug case for a heart drug that is supposedly killing people, and take on Varrick Labs.  Zinc and wife Helen gradually stabilize their lives and develop their own identity-they stumble on a immigrant boy with severe lead poisoning, and act honorably to help him and his family.

What happens? see above
How long was this? 350 pages ?
Did I like this? Grisham's recent work hasn't been great, but this one is fun, quirky, enjoyable.  It doesn't have the page turning passion of The Firm, but it is a great story with twists and turns.

Overall grade:A-
