Here it is, in a nutshell: All you need to know about John Grisham's new novel -- plus a FREE sneak peek!
Actually, this month we feature a curious non-arrival. The new John Grisham novel, to be exact, which at this stage in Grisham's career is the sort of event which requires no advance publicity.
No early galleys. No advance reader's copies. No hint of what Mr. Legal Thriller is up to until the national laydown date of February 4 arrives. It is, after all, Grisham. Isn't that enough?
In the interest of providing you, the reader, with timely, superior book information, we provide here the first hint of what Mr. G is up to in his newest megasuperwhopping bestseller, "The Street Lawyer."
OK, so, it's the book's flap copy. Isn't that enough?
Michael was in a hurry. He was scrambling up the ladder at Drake & Sweeney, a giant D.C. firm with eight hundred lawyers. The money was good and getting better; a partnership was three years away. He was a rising star with no time to waste, no time to stop, no time to toss a few coins into the cups of panhandlers. No time for a conscience.We could have waited until next month to review the book, but you will have all bought the thing by then anyway. And would it really matter what we think of the book?But a violent encounter with a homeless man stopped him cold. Michael survived; his assailant did not. Who was this man? Michael did some digging, and learned that he was a mentally ill veteran who'd been in and out of shelters for many years. Then Michael dug a little deeper, and found a dirty secret, and the secret involved Drake & Sweeney.
The fast track derailed; the ladder collapsed. Michael bolted from the firm and took a top-secret file with him. He landed in the streets, an advocate for the homeless, a street lawyer.
And a thief.
