Pat, it's been some years since I read Presumed Innocent but
I do recall enjoying the book. It does fall within the
"attorney as protagonist" genre, although better written than
Grisham (IMHO). I agree with others on the list who find
legal thrillers less than thrilling. I also find the American
Public's apparent love affair with attorney-heros very odd
given how much lawyers are generally reviled by the same
folks who buy all of these bestsellers. Go figure.
