The Litigators by John Grisham is the latest book by this celebrated Mississippi author. The book details the shenanigans of two shady lawyers (aka, "ambulance chasers") who stumble upon a mass tort case involving the drug Krayoxx. The two lawyers are barely making ends meet when David, a lawyer fed up with his boring, day-to-day existence at a huge law firm downtown quits his job, gets drunk and stumbles into the law firm of Finley and Figg and convinces them to give him a job. The three lawyers become involved in digging up Krayoxx clients at the same time David stumbles across a group of illegal residents who are getting cheated out of work hours at their jobs. Through his successful fight to win their pay back for them, David discovers a case of a little boy with severe lead poisoning he received from playing with extremely toxic "nasty teeth" covered in a lead-based paint, manufactured in China and distributed by an American toy company. David's life suddently changes when he is thrown into the first-chair defense of the Krayoxx case...a case that is doomed to fail. Meanwhile, David feels like he can win the lead paint case, if only he can figure out which American company manufactured the nasty teeth! This book is an entertaining story about the day-to-day lives of three litigators, trying to make a living. If you love other John Grisham books such as The Client, you will also like this book.
