知名法律小說天王約翰．葛里遜暢銷新作
本書真實展現美國司法系統中最好與最壞的一面。──CNN

　　甫自大型律師事務所超忙碌生活中脫離的年輕律師大衛，因緣際會下加入了芝加哥F & F事務所，成為兩個無良律師的合夥人。

　　某日，他們接下一宗因服用藥物致死的官司委託，必須和知名藥廠對抗。好巧不巧，替該藥廠辯護的事務所恰好就是大衛的前東家。兩個無良律師一心只想著如何從這個案子裡大撈一票，大衛則是惴惴不安，因為他的專長是在長期債券，而非眼前的藥物糾紛。

　　F & F究竟能不能以小搏大打贏這場官司？大衛又該如何與唯利是圖的合夥人共事，同時搞定這場他執業以來最大的訴訟？

　　The partners at Finley & Figg often refer to themselves as a “boutique law firm.” Boutique, as in chic, selective, and prosperous. 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 & Figg.
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 & 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.

　　John Grisham is the author of twenty-three novels, including, most recently, The Litigators; one work of nonfiction; a collection of stories; and a series for young readers. The recipient of the Harper Lee Prize for Legal Fiction, he is also the chairman of the board of directors of the Mississippi Innocence Project at the University of Mississippi School of Law. He lives in Virginia and Mississippi.
