This is another outstanding legal thriller with some funny moments by a favourite author of mine who is a master of the legal thriller and I cannot recommend it highly enough. The Litigators was first published in the USA on 25 October 2011. Do read it!
From the hardback flap: He's escaped the job from hell. Now he's got one hell of a job.
Oscar Finley: street cop turned street lawyer.
Wally Figg: expert hustler and ambulance-chaser.
David Zinc: Harvard Law School graduate.
Together, this unlikely trio make up Finley & Figg: specialists in injury claims, quickie divorces and DUIs. None of them has ever faced a jury in federal court. But they are about to take on one of the biggest pharmaceutical companies in the States.
David gave up his lucrative career at Chicago's leading law firm for this: the chance to help the little guy stand up to the big corporations.
But if Finley & Figg have right on their side, why do his new partners feel the need to carry guns in their briefcases? David thought he was used to cut-throat law from his days at Rogan Rothberg, but this is something else.

John Grisham has done it again, in my opinion. The Litigators is a face paced, fun read. He develops the characters and plot well but doesn't let it drag. Unlike some of his past offerings he doesn't run out of gas near the end of the story and just wrap things up to say he did. I highly recommend this one.
