<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Includes excerpt from Calico Joe (p. [475]-488).<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>The partners at Finley & Figg often refer to themselves as a "boutique law firm." <i>Boutique, </i>as in <i>chic, selective, </i>and <i>prosperous</i>. Oscar Finley and Wally Figg are none of these things. They are a two-bit operation of ambulance chasers who bicker like an old married couple. Until change comes their way--or, more accurately, stumbles in. After leaving a fast-track career and going on a serious bender, David Zinc is sober, unemployed, and desperate enough to take a job at Finley & Figg. <p/> Now the firm is ready to tackle a case that could make the partners rich--without requiring them to actually practice much law. A class action suit has been brought against Varrick Labs, a pharmaceutical giant with annual sales of $25 billion, alleging that Krayoxx, its most popular drug, causes heart attacks. Wally smells money. All Finley & Figg has to do is find a handful of Krayoxx users to join the suit. It almost seems too good to be true . . . and it is. <p/><b>Includes an excerpt of John Grisham's <i>Calico Joe</i> and a special preview of his upcoming novel <i>The Racketeer</i></b> </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"John Grisham is about as good a storyteller as we've got."--<i>The New York Times Book Review</i> <p/> "Grisham holds up that same mirror to our age as Tom Wolfe's <i>The Bonfire of the Vanities</i>."--<i>The Boston Globe</i> <p/> "A mighty narrative talent."--<i>Chicago Sun-Times</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>John Grisham</b> is the author of twenty-four novels, including, most recently, <i>Calico Joe; </i>one work of nonfiction; a collection of stories; and a series for young readers.
