The Rainmaker: A Novel

<p>#1 <i>NEW YORK TIMES</i> BESTSELLER<br /> <br /> It#x19;s summer in Memphis. The sweat is sticking to Rudy Baylor#x19;s shirt and creditors are nipping at his heels. Once he had aspirations of breezing through law school and punching his ticket to the good life. Now he doesn#x19;t have a job or a prayer-except for one: an insurance dispute that leaves a family devastated and opens the door for a lawsuit, if Rudy can find a way to file it.<br /> <br /> By the time Rudy gets to court, a heavyweight corporate defense team is there to meet him. And suddenly he#x19;s in over his head, plunged into a nightmare of lies and legal maneuverings. A case that started small is exploding into a thunderous million-dollar war of nerves, skill, and outright violence-a fight that could cost one young lawyer his life, or turn him into the biggest rainmaker in the land.</p
