Carl Trudeau’s Manhattan lair is so clearly a den of ill-gotten gains that you expect the heads of Teamsters to be mounted over the fireplace. And you can tell his trophy wife is shallow because she has a boob job and likes abstract art. Those mom-and-pop lawyers, though? They say grace before dinner (good, honest leftovers), and their idea of a big night out is the new "Harry Potter" at the multiplex and then pizza with the kids. Anything associated with the urban or sophisticated smacks of corruption here. It never occurs to Grisham that there are people in New York struggling to be good just as there are back in Mississippi. They’re as invisible to him as to Trudeau in his high-rise. And even if they weren’t, they would probably be depicted as entirely at the mercy of evil powerbrokers, just like the ordinary Mississippians are.
