The Associate

The Associate by Phillip Margolin

"A poster boy for the American Dream, former blue-collar boy turned high-powered lawyer Daniel Ames is on easy street as an associate at Reed, Briggs, Portland's most prestigious Law Firm. Until one man... and one case... changes everything. When a charismatic lawyer sues the firm's biggest client, a pharmaceutical company, for manufacturing a drug that causes unspeakable birth defects, Daniel believes the case has no merit. But when information implicating company malfeasance surfaces, the intrepid lawyer doggedly scrambles to find the truth -- an investigation that leads him into a vortex of greed, corruption, deceit, and murder. Suddenly caught on the wrong side of the law and in the cross-hairs of a powerful enemy, Daniel must unmask an evil conspiracy that wants to bury a deadly secret... and Daniel with it."

This is a new author for me. I enjoyed this mystery; though, I have to admit I wasn't sure the author would be able to tie up all the loose ends.
