The Street Lawyer

A Novel

De: John Grisham

Narrado por: Frank Muller

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “Compelling . . . another timely tale from John Grisham. [The Street Lawyer] shows not only that Grisham has his finger on the public pulse but that he’s also out to prick its conscience.”—Chicago Tribune

Michael was in a hurry. He was scrambling up the ladder at Drake & Sweeney, a giant D.C. law firm with eight hundred lawyers. The money was good and getting better; a partnership was no more than three years away. He was a rising star with no time to waste, no time to stop, no time to toss a few coins into the cups of panhandlers. No time for a conscience.

Then a violent encounter with a homeless man stopped him cold. Michael survived, but his assailant did not. Who was this man? Michael did some digging and learned that his attacker was a mentally ill veteran who’d been in and out of shelters for many years. Then Michael dug a little deeper and found a dirty secret, and the secret involved Drake & Sweeney.

The fast track derailed, the ladder collapsed. Michael bolted the firm and took a top-secret file with him. He landed in the streets, an advocate for the homeless, a street lawyer. And a thief.

not Grisham's best, but still Grisham

It's a good solid story and narration. Not the best, but much better than average, and I'm finding it harder to find a book I like.

loved it.

narrative was clear and expressive. keep me wanting to hear more. wonderful and captivating story.

worth the listen

I read this book back in high-school and it's what made me a John Grisham fan. still a classic and intriguing book of mine

One of the best by Grisham!

This is Grisham at his best. Fast paced, exhilarating, tense with goose bump moments. Comparable to the Firm, Gray Mountain, the Partner, Time to Kill and the Testament.

Very enjoyable!

Kept me interested from beginning to the end! Great performance and story! Overall, Excellently done!
