The Rainmaker

Author: John Grisham

Rudy Baylor, a young law school graduate, finds himself thrust into a world of corruption and greed when he takes on a powerful insurance company. Desperate for his first real case, Rudy stumbles upon a family’s fight against a ruthless corporation denying their son’s life-saving treatment. As he navigates the treacherous waters of Memphis’ legal scene, Rudy discovers his own strength and passion for justice. With wit, heart, and a touch of Southern charm, Grisham weaves a tale of David versus Goliath that will keep you turning pages late into the night.

Every lawyer, at least once in every case, feels himself crossing a line that he doesn't really mean to cross. It just happens.
