DESCRIPTION:
Green shows him the ropes, and Brock soon becomes part of the scenery he used to look down on from his plush 14th-floor office. This audio version of John Grisham's blockbuster The Street Lawyer is narrated by Michael Beck (The Golden Seal, Xanadu), whose portrayal of the similarly named Michael Brock, with his squeaky-clean voice and crisp annunciation, is in perfect pitch with the corporate attorney's Ivy League image. Looking for a romantic, hardboiled legal drama with a social conscience? Look no further. Meanwhile, our hero is on the lam for stealing an important file that holds the secret to an illegal eviction--one that may lead to a murder charge. Moved by a crisis
Who was this man? Michael did some digging, and learned that he was a mentally ill veteran who'd been in and out of shelters for many years. Michael bolted the firm and took a top-secret file with him. The money was good and getting better; a partnership was three years away. No time for a conscience.But a violent encounter with a homeless man stopped him cold. Michael was in a hurry. He was a rising star with no time to waste, no time to stop, no time to toss a few coins into the cups of panhandlers. Then Michael dug a little deeper, and found a dirty secret, and the secret involved Drake & Sweeney.The fast track derailed; the ladder collapsed. Michael
Then he is in a horrible car accident Michael Brock rethinks his life at Drake & Sweeny after a homeless man follows him up the elevator and follows him as he enters the offices. He calls himself Mister and hold several lawyers hostage in a conference room holding a grudge against the firm. After several hours, he orders food from a homeless shelter because everyon. "Grisham Shines" according to Fred Craprotta. This book is a typical Grisham lawyer story with quite an unusual twist. As usual the central character is a bright attorney. The difference is that this guy goes from riches to rags in monetary terms but his legal dealings with homeless street people give him a sense of satisfaction that money can't buy.. Nice, easy read Kerry Williams Nice, easy read. Typical John Grisham novel but that's a good thing. Worth reading for view of what homeless people go through EVERY DAY.
