John Grisham's five novels -- "A Time To Kill, The Firm, The
Pelican Brief, The Client," and "The Chamber" -- have been number
one best-sellers, and have a combined total of 47 million copies in
print. Now, in"The Rainmaker," Grisham returns to the courtroom for
the first time since "A Time To Kill," and weaves a riveting tale
of legal intrigue and corporate greed. Combining suspense,
narrative momentum, and humor as only John Grisham can, this is
another spellbinding read from the most popular author of our time.
Grisham's sixth spellbinding novel of legal intrigue and corporate
greed displays all of the intricate plotting, fast-paced action,
humor, and suspense that have made him the most popular author of
our time. In his first courtroom thriller since A "Time To Kill,"
John Grisham tells the story of a young man barely out of law
school who finds himself taking on one of the most powerful,
corrupt, and ruthless companies in America -- and exposing a
complex, multibillion-dollar insurance scam. In hs final semester
of law school Rudy Baylor is required to provide free legal advice
to a group of senior citizens, and it is there that he meets his
first "clients," Dot and Buddy Black. Their son, Donny Ray, is
dying of leukemia, and their insurance company has flatly refused
to pay for his medical treatments. While Rudy is at first
skeptical, he soon realizes that the Blacks really have been
shockingly mistreated by the huge company, and that he just may
have stumbled upon one of the largest insurance frauds anyone's
ever seen -- and one of the most lucrative and important cases in
the history of civil litigation. The problem is, Rudy's flat broke,
has no job, hasn't even passed the bar, and is about to go
head-to-head with one of the best defense attorneys -- and powerful
industries -- in America.
