John Grisham always gives an in depth look into the seedy world of litigation. The Litigators novel focuses on the pharmaceutical industry and the side affects that many of the well publicized drugs might incur.
David Zinc works at a prestigious Chicago law firm but is already getting burned out when he comes across a boutique law firm operated by Wally Figg and Oscar Finley. The two get by with DUIs, divorces and an occasional break from ambulance chasing. Deciding to join the firm for a less stressful life, David instead finds himself in the thick of a lawsuit, which Wally Figg believes will make them all rich, against a large drug company. Unfortunately Wally and Oscar are not exceptional litigators and David has never tried a case in court.
