Remember the opening of the movie Falling Down, with Michael Douglas? That’s pretty much how this book starts out. Then after spending all day in a bar, our hero walks into an office, totally at random, and declares he wants a job. The particular office he has chosen is run by two total loser attorneys. Luckily, he happens to be a better one. And luckily, and very reluctantly at first, they hire him. The rest of the story starts in a trailer court and ends up in a real court, over a very large tort case. But, there’s other things happening in the background, which makes for a totally unexpected ending. Good story, great finale.
