The King of Torts. (Taschenbuch) von John Grisham   Rezensionen: John Grisham'sThe King of Tortsdemonstrates that his narrative skills remain as impeccable as ever. Grisham knows exactly what he's doing when it comes to transfixing the reader. Within the high-powered milieu of the public defender's office in Washington DC, Grisham's protagonist is an ambitious young lawyer who finds himself saddled with what appears to be a nothing case: one of a wave of crack cocaine killings that are the bane of the capital. But as Clay Carter investigates, he finds that something more than a random street murder is involved here and a massive conspiracy becomes apparent. The stakes are suddenly very high indeed. If the skulduggery here (involving one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world) is a tad familiar, Grisham remainsnonpareilwhen it comes to delivering a smoothly engineered plot. A fresh touch is Carter's desire to break free from the routine cases he has been handling: this quickly becomes a case of beware what you wish for. Another innovative touch is the refusal to tie up the narrative in the expected ways:The King of Tortshas much more verisimilitude in this area than most legal thrillers. One more thing, Grisham's prose now has a sardonic, satirical quality that suggests the Tom Wolfe ofBonfire of the Vanities. --Barry Forshaw-- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine andere Ausgabe:Gebundene Ausgabe © 1998-2001 Amazon.com, Inc. und Tochtergesellschaften Alle Rezensionen ansehen...   Angebote zu  King ,  Torts ,  Taschenbuch  ab 1 Euro!
