The King of Torts
4 journalers for this copy...
"The office of the public defender is not known as a training ground for bright young litigators. Clay Carter has been there too long and, like most of his colleagues, dreams of a better job in a real firm. When he reluctantly takes the case of a young man charged with a random street killing, he assumes it is just another of the many senseless murders that hit D.C. every week.
As he digs into the background of his client, Clay stumbles on a conspiracy too horrible to believe. He suddenly finds himself in the middle of a complex case against one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world, looking at the kind of enormous settlement that would totally change his life--that would make him, almost overnight, the legal profession's newest king of torts... "

Journal Entry 3 by Der-Heitzer from Frankenthal (Pfalz), Rheinland-Pfalz Germany on Tuesday, September 27, 2005
Ich habs beim Frühstück im Blauen Loch mitgenommen, weil ich mal wieder etwas Englisches lesen will.
The book was given to me by Der-Heitzer on the mini-meet-up in Mannheim yesterday evening. Thanks a lot for "spying" on my bookshelf to treat me with a book in English! :-)
It was very nice to meet you, I hope there'll be another opportunity! :-)

Typical Grisham-story, I would say. From time to time it was a bit hard to struggle through all these unbelievable amounts of fees, settlements and so on. The truth really seems to be "money rules the world", but in the end also "money alone doesn't make happy". Nothing new, okay. :-)
