The Rainmaker by John Grisham in Paperback

It's summertime in Memphis, and Rudy Baylor's shirt is sticking to his sweat as he tries to outrun creditors. Once he dreamed of an easy life after law school, but now he's unemployed and desperate. Then, an insurance dispute comes his way that could lead to a lawsuit, if only Rudy can figure out how to file it. But when he finally gets to court, he's faced with a high-powered defense team and thrown into a dangerous game of legal maneuvering. What started as a small case has turned into a million-dollar battle of wits, and Rudy must find a way to survive and even thrive as the stakes get higher and the danger increases.
