Book Four: The Verdict

Took me a bit to get into this book and I think it's most notably known as the book that became the movie in which Paul Newman plays the underdog attorney. Fast-paced. Deals with an alcoholic, unscrupulous attorney who manages to hold his own against a vastly superior counsel and an unfriendly judge. Worth a read if only to behold the fortuitous luck this guy encounters along the way. Perhaps this one is meant to teach us that all hope is not lost even if it appears to be so.
