The Litigators

<p>The partners at Finley &amp; Figg often refer to themselves as a “boutique law firm.” <i>Boutique,</i> as in <i>chic, selective,</i> and <i>prosperous</i>. Oscar Finley and Wally Figg are none of these things. They are a two-bit operation of ambulance chasers who bicker like an old married couple. Until change comes their way—or, more accurately, stumbles in. After leaving a fast-track career and going on a serious bender, David Zinc is sober, unemployed, and desperate enough to take a job at Finley &amp; Figg.<br> &nbsp;<br> Now the firm is ready to tackle a case that could make the partners rich—without requiring them to actually practice much law. A class action suit has been brought against Varrick Labs, a pharmaceutical giant with annual sales of $25 billion, alleging that Krayoxx, its most popular drug, causes heart attacks. Wally smells money. All Finley &amp; Figg has to do is find a handful of Krayoxx users to join the suit. It almost seems too good to be true . . . and it is.</p> <p><b>Includes an excerpt of John Grisham’s <i>Calico Joe</i> and a special preview of his upcoming novel <i>The Racketeer</i></b>&nbsp;</p>
