{"product_id":"2940169205404","title":"The Litigators (Abridged)","description":"The partners at Finley amp; Figg-all two of them-often refer to  themselves as \"a boutique law firm.\" Boutique, as in chic, selective,  and prosperous. They are, of course, none of these things. What they are  is a two-bit operation always in search of their big break, ambulance  chasers who've been in the trenches much too long making way too little.  Their specialties, so to speak, are quickie divorces and DUIs, with the  occasional jackpot of an actual car wreck thrown in. After twenty plus  years together, Oscar Finley and Wally Figg bicker like an old married  couple but somehow continue to scratch out a half-decent living from  their seedy bungalow offices in southwest Chicago.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd then  change comes their way. More accurately, it stumbles in. David Zinc, a  young but already burned-out attorney, walks away from his fast-track  career at a fancy downtown firm, goes on a serious bender, and finds  himself literally at the doorstep of our boutique firm. Once David  sobers up and comes to grips with the fact that he's suddenly  unemployed, any job-even one with Finley amp; Figg-looks okay to him.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith  their new associate on board, Famp;F is ready to tackle a really big  case, a case that could make the partners rich without requiring them to  actually practice much law. An extremely popular drug, Krayoxx, the  number one cholesterol reducer for the dangerously overweight, produced  by Varrick Labs, a giant pharmaceutical company with annual sales of $25  billion, has recently come under fire after several patients taking it  have suffered heart attacks. Wally smells money.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA little online  research confirms Wally's suspicions-a huge plaintiffs' firm in Florida  is putting together a class action suit against Varrick. All Finley  amp; Figg has to do is find a handful of people who have had heart  attacks while taking Krayoxx, convince them to become clients, join the  class action, and ride along to fame and fortune. With any luck, they  won't even have to enter a courtroom! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt almost seems too good to be true.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd it is.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Litigators \u003c\/i\u003eis  a tremendously entertaining romp, filled with the kind of courtroom  strategies, theatrics, and suspense that have made John Grisham  America's favorite storyteller.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eFrom the Hardcover edition.\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47104374374640,"sku":"2940169205404","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940169205404_p0.jpg?v=1763675229","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940169205404","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
