THE RAINMAKER

The Rainmaker by John Grisham
The Rainmaker is a 1995 novel by John Grisham. This was Grisham's sixth novel. It differs from most of his other novels in that it is written almost completely in the simple present tense.

Rudy Baylor is about to graduate from Memphis State Law School. He secures a position with a Memphis law firm, which he then loses when the firm is bought up by another, larger firm. As one of the few members of his class without a job lined up, a desperate Rudy reluctantly allows "Prince" Thomas, the owner of a sleazy bar where he works part-time, to introduce him to J. Lyman "Bruiser" Stone, a ruthless but successful ambulance chaser, who makes him an associate. To earn his fee, Rudy is required to hunt for potential clients at the local hospital and sign them up to personal injury lawsuits.  He is  introduced to Deck Shifflet, a less-than-ethical former insurance assessor who received a law degree but doesn't practice law, having failed to pass the bar examination 6 times.  - wikipedia.org 

The Rainmaker was adapted into film in 1997.   It starred  Matt Damon and was directed by Francis Ford Coppola.
