The Street Lawyer

Michael Brock is a man in a hurry. He's in the fast lane at Drake Sweeney, a giant Washington law firm. He's a rising star, with no time to waste, no time to toss a few coins into the hands of beggars. No time for a conscience. But a chance violent encounter with a homeless man stops him cold. The fallout propels him onto a trail of corruption and illegality which leads straight back to Drake Sweeney. To get to the truth, Michael will have to dig deep into some of his own firm's dirtiest secrets... "No one does it better than Grisham. This latest novel is as unputdownable as ever." Daily Telegraph "Fluent and fascinating. Few writers have so much to say, the skills to make reading what they say an irresistible pleasure -- and the clout to be able to say it to an audience of millions." Independent "Compelling... Grisham is more adept at getting the reader to turn the page than almost any writer working today." Daily Mail.
