Obviously, no editor at Doubleday had the balls to tell their mega-author that the company does not publish unfinished manuscripts. Clearly, the guaranteed millions and the sound of ca-ching at the cash registers overcame any scruples about serving their readers’ interests. Thus, there is John Grisham’s 29th novel, Gray Mountain, to consider.
Samantha Kofer, a twenty-something attorney, gets bounced from her success tracked, but mind-numbing, job at a huge Manhattan law firm by the Lehman crash. She finds herself cast out to backwoods Appalachia working as an unpaid intern for a legal services firm. For a full half of the book the author relates her introduction to real people and real law. If there’s a plot beyond this life lesson, the reader can’t divine it. Then on page 209 a chapter ends with, “On November 24, three days before Thanksgiving, they found him dead.” Let the story begin. The reader can assume Grisham has spent half his book setting the scene and putting the necessary characters in place. The dead man, Donovan Gray, is a victim of aviation sabotage. He was the knight-errant in battles with Big Coal and their corrupt lawyers. They screw everybody. He fights back. The good guys have Samantha’s dad, a disbarred lawyer with decades of experience suing airlines over crashes. Nothing aviation gets past him. He even provides venture cash for small lawyers to sue deep pocket opponents. The bad guys enlist the corrupted FBI to do their bidding, but the good guys have Samantha’s mother, a well placed official in the Justice Department. Everything seems to revolve around another Grisham document caper. Stolen documents that can prove crimes committed by the coal company are now in the possession of the recently murdered, Quixote-like lawyer’s “firm.
In nineteen ninety-three, John Grisham delivers a stunning and suspenseful novel, The Pelican Brief: A Novel, which revolves around the assassination of two Supreme Court justices, and the female protagonist Darby Shaw undeterred by the threats to her life uncovered a deep-rooted presidential conspiracy. Twenty-one years later, Grisham returns with a female protagonist for only the second time in his illustrious career as he crafted another stupefying legal thriller, this time not targeting the highest echelons of government but the deepest pits of the dark and perilous world of coal mining.
Set against the backdrop of the Great Recession of 2008, Gray Mountain by bestselling author John Grisham follows a 29-year-old female Manhattan associate attorney who gets downsized and is forced to leave her Wall Street law firm two weeks after the collapse of Lehman Brothers to work a year in the small-town of Brady, Virginia. Samantha Kofer’s journey from New York’s largest law firm to a small legal aid clinic in the heart of Appalachia with a population of 2200 as an unpaid intern borders on the ludicrous. Yet, that is the only possible route back to her job in the future.
When Samantha meets Mattie Wyatt, her new boss and the head of the Mountain Legal Aid Clinic, she realizes there’s much to learn and that Mattie has a lot to teach her on how to assist people who face genuine problems. It enables her to work on things she had never done during her three-year stay at New York’s Scully & Pershing. Apart from actually preparing a lawsuit, Samantha also gets to work her way around courtrooms, topping it with a tongue-lashing from a judge.
