The partners at Finley & Figg often refer to themselves as a boutique law firm.
Boutique, as in chic, selective, and prosperous .
Oscar Finley and Wally Figg are none of these things.
They are a two-bit operation of ambulance chasers who bicker like an old married couple.
Until change comes their way--or, more accurately, stumbles in.
After leaving a fast-track career and going on a serious bender, David Zinc is sober, unemployed, and desperate enough to take a job at Finley & Figg.
Now the firm is ready to tackle a case that could make the partners rich--without requiring them to actually practice much law.
A class action suit has been brought against Varrick Labs, a pharmaceutical giant with annual sales of $25 billion, alleging that Krayoxx, its most popular drug, causes heart attacks.
Wally smells money.
All Finley & Figg has to do is find a handful of Krayoxx users to join the suit.
It almost seems too good to be true .
and it is.
