The partners at Finley & Figg—all two of them—often refer to themselves as “a boutique law firm.” Boutique, as in chic, selective, and prosperous. They are, of course, none of these things. What they are is a two-bit operation always in search of their big break, ambulance chasers who’ve been in the trenches much too long making way too little. Their specialties, so to speak, are quickie divorces and DUIs, with the occasional jackpot of an actual car wreck thrown in. After twenty plus years together, Oscar Finley and Wally Figg bicker like an old married couple but somehow continue to scratch out a half-decent living from their seedy bungalow offices in southwest Chicago.
And then change comes their way. More accurately, it stumbles in. David Zinc, a young but already burned-out attorney, walks away from his fast-track career at a fancy downtown firm, goes on a serious bender, and finds himself literally at the doorstep of our boutique firm. Once David sobers up and comes to grips with the fact that he’s suddenly unemployed, any job—even one with Finley & Figg—looks okay to him.
With their new associate on board, F&F is ready to tackle a really big case, a case that could make the partners rich without requiring them to actually practice much law. An extremely popular drug, Krayoxx, the number one cholesterol reducer for the dangerously overweight, produced by Varrick Labs, a giant pharmaceutical company with annual sales of $25 billion, has recently come under fire after several patients taking it have suffered heart attacks. Wally smells money.
A little online research confirms Wally’s suspicions—a huge plaintiffs’ firm in Florida is putting together a class action suit against Varrick. All Finley & Figg has to do is find a handful of people who have had heart attacks while taking Krayoxx, convince them to become clients, join the class action, and ride along to fame and fortune. With any luck, they won’t even have to enter a courtroom!
It almost seems too good to be true.
And it is.

In his final hours in the Oval Office, the outgoing President grants a controversial last-minute pardon to Joel Backman, a notorious Washington power broker who has spent the last six years hidden away in a federal prison. What no one knows is that the President issues the pardon only after receiving enormous pressure from the CIA. It seems Backman, in his power broker heyday, may have obtained secrets that compromise the world's most sophisticated satellite surveillance system.

On the right side of the law. Sort of. Sebastian Rudd is not your typical street lawyer. He works out of a customized bulletproof van, complete with Wi-Fi, a bar, a small fridge, fine leather chairs, a hidden gun compartment, and a heavily armed driver. He has no firm, no partners, no associates, and only one employee: his driver, who's also his bodyguard, law clerk, confidant, and golf caddy.

Seth Hubbard is a wealthy man dying of lung cancer. He trusts no one. Before he hangs himself from a sycamore tree, Hubbard leaves a new, handwritten, will. It is an act that drags his adult children, his Black maid, and Jake into a conflict as riveting and dramatic as the murder trial that made Brigance one of Ford County's most notorious citizens, just three years earlier. The second will raises far more questions than it answers. Why would Hubbard leave nearly all of his fortune to his maid? Had chemotherapy and painkillers affected his ability to think clearly?

Grisham wieder in alter Form
Mit diesem Grisham habe ich wider Hoffnung, dass der Autor dauerhaft zu alter form aufgelaufen ist. Der Autor verwendet wieder mehr Zeit, seine Charaktaere zu entwickeln und in diesem Buch nutzt Grisham auch wieder seinen Humor. Die besten Szenen sind der Held des Romans, wie er betrunken ueber sein Leben reflektiert und aus Versehen in einer runtergekommenen Anwaltskanzlei auftaucht. Der Name des Kanzleihundes ist AC fuer "Ambulance Chaser" - noch Fragen, wie man dort Geld macht? Rundum eine spannendes Buch mit sehr witzigen Einlagen. Das Ende will ich nicht veraten, aber es haette definitiv noch verbessert werden koennen. Klingt ein wenig nach "Oops, Seitenzahl erreicht, abwickeln, Ende". Trotzdem ein guter Kauf und ich habe es sogar gleich zweimal gehoert, um noch einmal darueber Lachen zu koennen...

will mehr!
So mag ich Grisham. Manchmal etwas einfach gestrickt, aber die interessante Geschichte und der sehr gute Sprecher machen Lust darauf, wieder mehr Grisham zu lesen/hören. Ich finde zwar auch, dass das Ende etwas schnell abgearbeitet wurde, trotzdem sehr zu empfehlen!
