John Grisham returns to the courtroom for the first time since 'A Time to Kill' in this riveting tale of legal intrigue and corporate greed.
Rudy Baylor is a newly-qualified lawyer: he has one case, and one case alone, to save himself from his mounting debts. It is a bad faith case against a giant insurance company which could have saved a young man's life, but has instead refused to pay the claim until it is too late.
The settlement could be worth millions of dollars, but there is one problem: Rudy has never argued a case in court before, and he's up against the most expensive lawyers that money can buy.
