Synopsis
Memphis lawyer Rudy Baylor thought his law degree would be his ticket to the good life. Now without a job, he pins his hopes on an insurance dispute that has left a family devastated and opened a door to a lawsuit. By the time he gets to court, a heavyweight defense team is assembled against him and Rudy is plunged into a maze of lies and legal maneuvering. The case that started small is exploding into a million-dollar war of nerves, skill, and physical violence--a fight that could cost Rudy his life, or make him the biggest rainmaker in the land.

Industry Reviews
"[Rudy Baylor] is Mr. Grisham's most sympathetic hero and ['The Rainmaker' is his] most engrossing premise since his first runaway success, 'The Firm'."
Wall Street Journal - Tom Nolan
"...what must be the first thrilling account of a civil trial to be written."
Warrack
"Great fun to read...the complex plotting is Grisham's major accomplishment."
Maron
"Grisham's vivid minor characters and near-Dickensian zeal for mocking pomposity and privilege are apt to endear him to his many readers all over again."
Maron
"A mighty narrative talent and an unerring eye for hot-button issues....in this new novel Grisham also reveals for the first time a surpassing knack for comedy."
Maron
