The book starts out, with a hold up in a the huge firm of Drake and Sweeney. The hold up is by a homeless person, DeVon Hardy (found out later) or Mister. He has others in the room, but the person who is most affected is one Mike Brocks, who was an aspiring associate in the firm, and would make partner in a couple of years.

Mike is so affected that he leaves the firm to become a "Street Lawyer," a defender of the homeless and poor. Unfortunately, before he leaves the office though, he "barrows" a file that retained to Mister, and another character, but something happens before he can give it backà

To find out the rest you HAVE to read this novel. It kind of wavers from GrishamÆs usual genera, but makes you look at your self in a new way. I warn you, if you eat and read (which I do to often) DONÆT youÆll start to fell bad about it!
