The King Of Torts
Author: John Grisham
Format: Paperback
An American Classic from the No. 1 Bestselling Master of Legal Thrillers
Clay Carter has been working in The Office of the Public Defender for too long and he dreams of better things.
When he reluctantly takes the case of a young man charged with a random street killing, he assumes it's just another of the many senseless murders that hit Washington D.C. every week.
But as he digs deeper, Clay stumbles upon a conspiracy too horrifying to believe. A pharmaceutical giant has been secretly and illegally testing a new drug on addicts - one that helps stop addiction, but which drives them to random acts of violence.
Overnight, Clay becomes a celebrity among lawyers and a national media figure.
But as the financial stakes rise, so does the danger...
