Although they can’t say Rackley’s activity is strictly illegal, Mark and Todd believe Gordon has amassed enough evidence to file a class action against Rackley.īut as Gordon spirals out of control, Mark and Todd also lose their moorings, to the point where they make the risky decision to drop out of school and start practicing law unlicensed and under assumed names out of a tavern called The Rooster Bar.Īlthough longtime fans of Mr. The three learn that Gordon’s mania has led him to connect the dots against Rackley. The scheme comes to light when Zola, concerned about the worsening state of her bi-polar boyfriend, Gordon, contacts Mark and Todd. Rackley owns a network of banks, schools and law firms, designed to enrich him at the expense of ambitious millennials. The story begins with three friends, Mark Frazier, Todd Lucero, and Zola Maal, enrolled at the aptly named Foggy Bottom Law School, a dubious institution run by investor Hinds Rackely, who seems to be the academic equivalent of a payday loan predator. Fans of rapid, sharp plot twists will not be disappointed, but perhaps the most satisfying aspect of this page-turner is the audacious thumb-in-the-eye the novel delivers to corrupt banking interests exploiting idealistic students to saddle them with worthless degrees and crushing debt. Bright lines are crossed and ethical boundaries obliterated in John Grisham’s newest legal thriller, The Rooster Bar.
