Set thirty years later, Grisham's new novel portrays Mitch McDeere still pursuing an elusive partnership at Bendini, Lambert & Locke only to be foiled repeatedly by a shrewd, fast-talking legal secretary named Shamika Brown.
In one dramatic scene, McDeere confronts his rival at a water cooler in the firm's mahogany-paneled office:
"I can still make partner, it will happen, I can assure you," he said.
"Mitch, you be [sic] here thirty years and still can't get a clue!" she replied sarcastically.
"It doesn't matter. Time is a lie and age is flame," he shot back.
Managing Partner: "McDeree. Thirty-plus years of service. Super Lawyer citations. Only man to take down three trillion dollar corporations in the last 40 years. [looks over resume.] 'Distinguished.' 'Distinguished.' 'Distinguished.' Yet you can't get breakfast, you won't retire, and despite your best efforts, you refuse to die. You should be at least a name partner by now, if not a Supreme Court justice. Yet here you are: Of Counsel. Why is that?"

Samantha Kofer is a lawyer at a major New York City law firm, which is hit hard at the onset of the Great Recession. Rather than lay her off, the firm suggests that Sam conduct a charity service while she is put on furlough for a year. Sam takes up on the offer since she has no other choice and relocates to Virginia's Appalachian Mountains. She finds a job with a woman named Mattie, who runs a legal aid firm in the town of Brady. Mattie and another woman, Annette, take up cases in the town. At first, Sam does not fit in, but eventually warms up to Mattie and the townspeople.
It is literally 33 years later, Abby divorced Mitch’s ass, Mitch found out his daughter wasn’t even his, Mitch got disbarred, took too many drugs, moved to Key West, is homeless, and when Jimmy Buffet died, Mitch took it upon himself to insufflate a Tony Montana sized mountain of fentanyl laced cocaine, at a public beach on Marathon Key (having been kicked out of Key West), succumbing almost immediately to his indulgences, hubris, and lack of shame.

grisham is only entertaining when he writes about shitlaw intrigues. he's so far outside of his depth and marginal experience when he tries to write about anything else that it comes off amateurish.
