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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAnd 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 \u0026amp; Figg--looks okay to him. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith their new associate on board, F\u0026amp;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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA little online research confirms Wally's suspicions--a huge plaintiffs' firm in Florida is putting together a class action suit against Varrick. All Finley \u0026amp; 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! \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIt almost seems too good to be true. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAnd it is.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Litigators \u003c\/i\u003eis a tremendously entertaining romp, filled with the kind of courtroom strategies, theatrics, and suspense that have made John Grisham America's favorite storyteller. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eDon't miss John Grisham's new book, \u003c\/i\u003e THE EXCHANGE: AFTER\u003ci\u003e THE FIRM, coming soon!\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Random House Large Print Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/25\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780739378335\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 560\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.17lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.19h x 6.35w x 1.22d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLarge Print\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e148307 \/ Litigators\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.5 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Upper Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 20\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"John Grisham","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43124394098869,"sku":"9780739378335","price":27.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_dda9e793-43ea-4417-ab47-c8180eac4aab.jpg?v=1694551168","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-litigators-9780739378335","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
