A pesar de su juventud, Clay Carter ve su futuro con cierto cinismo. Hace años que ejerce de abogado público de oficio y la situación no parece que vaya a cambiar. De ahí su resignación al abordar un nuevo caso que promete ser como tantos otros: debe defender a un adolescente acusado de asesinato, un hecho corriente en la ciudad de Washington. Sin embargo, cuando Clay empieza a indagar en el pasado de su cliente, se entera de que éste se hallaba bajos los efectos de un fármaco en fase de experimentación cuando cometió el crimen. El laboratorio creador del producto, ansioso de que el suceso no salga a la luz, le propone a Clay un pacto. Para cumplirlo, el joven abogado deberá estar dispuesto a jugar sucio. A pesar de sus reticencias iniciales, Clay acabará aceptando, al entender que ésta puede ser la oportunidad de su vida: la compañía es una de las empresas farmacéuticas más importantes del país. La misión promete ser dura por el complejo entramado de poder e intereses en juego, pero la tentación es demasiado grande: de la noche a la mañana, Clay podría convertirse en el nuevo rey de los pleitos.

En su nuevo thriller de corte legal, John Grisham pone al descubierto el enorme poder que poseen ciertos bufetes de abogados, a la vez que analiza las consecuencias que puede tener una ambición desmesurada.

Now I see it everywhere with new eyes of understand of how it works in the bigger sense of the word!"

    " I'm so embarrassed that I picked up another one. I just couldn't sleep, and John Grisham is just so simple and predictible. Don't judge. My vacation is almost over and then I will be back to the library and away from anything written by John Grisham. "

  • Overall Performance: 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5

    " Its a roller coaster ride, an unusual rags to riches story from where Law and Order make the protagonist hit a Debacle. Typical John Grisham Work. Great Insight on Mass Tort Lawsuits. "

    " Great book, liked how the personal story was just as important as the business story. A good lesson that if it's handed to you, you better be wary, and it probably won't last. "

    " Another Grisham that I could not put down, but left me feeling a little empty at the end. I dont know much about lawyering, but its probably guys like the main character in the book that give them a bad rap. "

    " I had a lot of fun reading this story. An example of "truth in comedy" with all of this mass tort litigation. How many times do you see these commercials fishing for "victims" of one ridiculous thing after another, and then you have these lawyers that feast off of real victim's misfortunes. "

    " The main character was frustrating to me, but I know that he was supposed to be that way. It still made me enjoy the book less. But it was an interesting book with a good moral, I think. "

    " Grisham is a roller-coasted storyteller, once you hop in, you are there for the entire ride. Pharmaceutical companies are at the center of this law and order drama. Quite interesting and intriguing. "

    " Not top-drawer Grisham. Basically it's about how sleazy lawyers can be, and anyone who has ever been in a contentious divorce already is aware of this. The beginning of the book is pretty good, but by midpoint it was all I could do to continue. The ending is abrupt and all too convenient. "
