The John Grisham Series

Reading some John Grisham novels :

1. The Summons (pub 2005) - the story of the small town Judge Atlee who left a mysterious will entrusting his estate "The Maple Run" to be disputed between his two sons, Ray and Forrest. Ray is a law professor at  Virginia, and Forrest is a truant who is always in trouble with the law. A suspenseful novel with a surprise ending revealing who inherits what!

2. The Street Lawyer (pub 2010) - a very compelling portrayal of our justice system, and how it views the dregs of society. Michael Brock is on his way to becoming a partner at Drake & Sweeney before he momentarily stares at death in the face. When his hidden conscience awakens, he comes to realize the truth about his own firm, the 'have's and the 'have-not's, and what role he has to play to bring justice to those without a voice.
