Before I read this novel, I read a review on Goodreads and this was aptly described as "romp". It is an enjoyable read.The novel concerns a young lawyer who is on the treadmill in the back office and he, David Zinc, appears to flip one day and leaves his very well paid office. He heads to the local bar and gets very drunk then stumbles into a two bit law office of two ambulance chasers (I love that expression). His wife comes and collects him but he decides to join up with Figg and Finlay the down at heel lawyers.
He is led into the fantasy world of one of the lawyers and the firm is set up into a litigation that becomes increasingly difficult for them to win. They are clearly out of their depth but we enjoy the story along the way.

In parallel with this David takes on other cases too. However, it is the world of the two eccentric lawyers that we most enjoy as well as the courtroom scenes that are very well written.
A good book as ever from John Grisham but not quite the best.

8/10 for me.
