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.

Publisher's Note
He's a young lawyer who does yard work in exchange for rent. Then one little case begins to explode...



It's summer in Memphis. The sweat is sticking to Rudy Baylor'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't have a job or a prayer.. except for one: an old insurance dispute that leaves a family devastated and opens the door for a lawsuit, if Rudy can find a way to file it.



By the time Rudy gets to court, a heavyweight corporate defense team is there to meet him. And suddenly he'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...

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
