Finley and Figg are the partners in an ambulance chasing legal firm that is always on the edge of financial disaster. Then David Zinc walks out of a pressurted career at a much more upscale firm and joins them. The book follows the firms fortunes through two mass tort cases - one successful, one not. I didn't find this thriller particularly gripping - nowhere near the standard of Grisham's early work.
THE LITIGATORS is standard Grisham fare. It telegraphs much of the plot but remains an enjoyable and entertaining novel that points out the foibles of the justice system from top to bottom. As a nation we love the law, warts and all. Anyone watching television or reading newspapers or books can plainly see our fascination. Grisham has certainly used that interest in the legal system to great advantage. The law has given him fertile fields to cultivate, and we eagerly await the harvest of his next novel.
