John Grisham
Michael was in a hurry. He was scrambling up the ladder at Drake & Sweeney, a giant D.C. law firm with eight hundred lawyers. The money was good and getting better; a partnership was no more than 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.
Then a violent encounter with a homeless man stopped him cold. Michael survived, but his assailant did not. Who was this man? Michael did some digging and learned that his attacker 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 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.

Critic reviews
“Grisham at his plot-driven best.”—The Denver Post
“An entertaining read with an important theme . . . The story unfolds in breakneck fashion with those wonderful pages-long passages of taut Grisham dialogue.”—Chicago Sun-Times
“The plot surges forward, pulling us along as we turn those pages a mile a minute.”—San Francisco Chronicle
Featured Article: The Essential John Grisham in Audio
John Grisham is best known for his fast-paced legal thrillers and mysteries, many of which have been adapted for television and film. Because he’s so prolific and has been writing for decades, it can be difficult to know where to begin when selecting a title from his impressive back catalog. And Grisham is definitely a jack-of-all-trades: he’s written not only legal thrillers, but nonfiction, a series for kids, some humorous novels, and recently, a new mystery series outside of the legal thriller genre. To help you decide which Grisham gem to download next, we’ve compiled a list of the very best.

Good book but fairly predictable and lacking

the one criticism I do have is about the production. 6 or 7 times all of a sudden you're listening to the paragraph you just listened to. kind of annoying, but didn't derail me.
