If you're a Grisham apostate, now might be the time to get reacquainted. This unique, snappy, well-turned novel called The Litigators 
might be a good place to start. Grisham brings his usual nuanced understanding of tort law and civil jurisprudence, but he seems just as interested in the non-experts.

From B&N - The story is about two middle-aged lawyers "Finley & Figg" who are just getting by. Oscar Finley and Wally Figg qualify as the ambulance chasers, specialists in hapless shoplifting defendants and no-fault divorce cases. Then one day, while they're wading through yet another mundane day of paper-pushing in their modest Chicago office, everything changes forever. Their opportunity comes in the form of a class action lawsuit against a big Pharma company who's latest cholesterol drug is killing people. The arrival of burned out fast-track attorney David Zinc to the firm takes their pick-up game to a whole new level. Before long, they are grappling with a real legal case, one that involves a $25 billion pharmaceutical corporation and a slam-dunk class action suit with infinite possibilities. What Messrs. Finley and Figg don't yet realize is that their road to riches will pit them against a legal team not accustomed to losing. John Grisham's new courtroom thriller combines realistic strategies with likeable characters. Grisham brings the story full circle when the protagonist and his rag-tag bunch of litigators take the class action all the way to the supreme court and face off against a legal team led by the same company the protagonist left. Nobody does it better.
This is not my favorite Grisham novel but it is yet again another great Grisham read.
