The Street Lawyer
5 journalers for this copy...
You won't want to hit the streets until you've finished reading. Another fast moving lawyer as protagonist novel from John Grisham.
From the back of the book:
Michael Brock is billing the hours, making the money, rushing relentlessly to the top of Drake & Sweeney, a giant D.C. firm. One step away from partnership, Michael has it all. Then, in an instant, it all comes undone.
A homeless man takes nine lawyers hostage in the firm's plush offices. When it is all over, the man's blood is splattered on Michael's face - and suddenly Michael is willing to do the unthinkable. Rediscovering a conscience he lost long ago, Michael is leaving the big time for the streets where his attacker once lived - and where society's powerless need an advocate for justice.
But there's one break Michael can't make: from a secret that has floated up from the depths of Drake & Sweeney, from a confidential file that is now in Michael's hands, and from a conspiracy that has already taken lives. Now Michael's former partners are about to become his bitter enemies. Because to them, Michael Brock is the most dangerous man on the streets...

Shipped to me by a fellow BC'er. Thanks! Can't wait to read it.
Another read-in-one-gulp novel by Grisham. Great airplane fodder. A bit preachy, but it never got in the way of the story. Mordecai Green is the kind of person I'd love to meet some day.
