Law firm partners Oscar Finley and Wally Figg see a chance for huge financial gain when they learn of a pending class action lawsuit against the makers of Krayoxx, a popular cholesterol-reducing drug suspected of causing heart attacks.This was my first John Grisham book, and even though it was about the dry subject of product liability; I was still thoroughly entertained. The main characters Finley and Figg are the stereotypical "ambulance chasers" who do some real slimy underhanded things; like play divorcing couples off each other to string out the fight and thus rack up more court and client fees. This makes it hard to like the characters and want to see them succeed against the "big, bad corporation". However, this makes this novel different and even humorous at times; and I think I enjoyed this version better than the sappy, inspirational David vs. Goliath story.
