Book Review
Sparring Partners by John Grisham the phone wasn't ringing petty criminals and other potential clients were busy elsewhere with no thoughts whatsoever of hiring lawyers the occasional caller was more likely to be a man or woman still reeling from holiday overspending and seeking advice about unpaid credit card accounts those were quickly
sent next door or across the square or anywhere jake was at his desk upstairs making little progress with the stack of paperwork he'd been neglecting for weeks even months with no court or hearing scheduled for days
it should have been a good time to catch up with the old stuff the fish files that every lawyer had for some reason said yes to a year ago and now just wanted to go away the upside of a small town law practice especially
in your hometown was that everyone knew your name and that was what you wanted it was important to be well thought of and liked with a good reputation when your neighbors got in trouble you wanted to
be the man they called the downside was that their cases were always mundane and rarely profitable but you couldn't say no the gossip was fierce and unrelenting and a lawyer who turned his back on his friends would not last long his funk was interrupted
when alicia his current part-time secretary chimed in through his desk phone jake there's a couple here to see you a couple married but wanting to get unmarried another cheap divorce he glanced at his daily planner though he knew there was nothing do they have an appointment he asked
but only to remind alicia that she shouldn't be bothering him with a foot traffic no but they're very nice and they say it's really urgent they're not going away said it wouldn't take but a few minutes jake loved being bullied in his own office on a busier day he would take a stand and get rid of him
do they appear to have any money the answer was always no well they do seem rather affluent affluent in ford county somewhat intriguing alicia continued they're from memphis and just passing through but again they
say it's very important any idea what it is no well it wouldn't be a divorce if they lived in memphis he ran through a list of possibilities grandma's will some old family land maybe a kid busted for drugs
over at ole miss since he was bored and mildly curious and needed an excuse to avoid the paperwork he asked did you tell them that i'm tied up in a settlement conference call with a dozen lawyers no did you tell
them i'm doing federal court over in oxford and can only spare a moment or two no did you tell them that i'm slammed with other appointments no it's pretty obvious the place is empty and the phone isn't ringing.
