Aux Etats-Unis, les facultés de droit ont en leur sein de sacrées personnalités: Rudy Baylor est l'un d'eux. Etudiant brillant et travailleur, son origine modeste en fait un paria courant les petits boulots pour payer ses études, survivant sur le fil du rasoir. C'est pourtant lui qui, sitôt son diplôme en poche, sera à l'origine d'un procès retentissant, dont le scandale éclaboussera l'une des plus grosses compagnies d'assurances. A travers une description sans concession de l'Amérique contemporaine, de paumés de toutes sortes, de femmes battues, de vieillards désemparés, John Grisham nous entraîne une nouvelle fois dans une aventure haletante au cœur de laquelle Rudy se débat face au cynisme sans limite du système.
