The King of TortsClay Carter has been at the office of the public defender too long and, like most of his colleagues, dreams of a better job in a real firm. When he reluctantly takes the case of a young man charged with a random street killing, he assumes it is just another of the many senseless murders that hit D.C. every week. As he digs into the background of his client, Clay stumbles on a conspiracy too horrible to believe. He suddenly finds himself in the middle of a complex case against one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world, looking at the kind of enormous settlement that would make him, almost overnight, the legal profession’s newest king of torts...The Last JurorIn 1970, one of Mississippi’s more colorful weekly newspapers went bankrupt. The future of the paper looked grim until a young mother was brutally raped and murdered by a member of the notorious Padgitt family. The murderer, Danny Padgitt, was tried before a packed courthouse, and the trial came to a startling end when the defendant threatened revenge against the jurors if they convicted him. Nevertheless, they found him guilty, and he was sentenced to life in prison. But in Mississippi in 1970, "life" didn’t necessarily mean "life," and nine years later Padgitt was paroled. He returned to Ford County, and the retribution began.

I listen with my MP3 and I found myself talking out loud to no one in reaction to the story. This is a "good" story. I could not stop until the battery ran low. John Grisham is my favorite author. I even re-read/re-listen to his books. I listen to about 2 books a month and look forward to a new book from him. Easy to mentally picture characters, surroundings and sounds. Amazing for me to enjoy. For years my friends and I would exchange books but not now. LOL. The "King of Tortes" so far is my favorite.

Great item. Received in good time and sound packaging. Always pleased to receive what I want in the mail. I drive long distance, books are a lifesaver!!

These books were exciting and entertaining. I think the Grisham of years ago is the author I enjoy. Not so much anymore.

A bit too predictable
