Rudy Baylor is a newly-qualified lawyer with no money and a lot of debts. One case could save him from bankruptcy. A giant insurance company has refused to pay a claim which could have saved a young man's life. The settlement could be worth millions of dollars but there is one problem. Rudy has never argued a case in court before and he is up against the best lawyers money can buy ! John Grisham has been called "the best thriller writer alive". The Rainmaker has been made into a tense film starring Danny de Vito and Matt Damon.

Penguin Readers
Penguin Readers is a series of simplified novels, film novelizations and original titles that introduce students at all levels to the pleasures of reading in English. Originally designed for teaching English as a foreign language, the series' combination of high interest level and low reading age makes it suitable for both English-speaking teenagers with limited reading skills and students of English as a second language. Many titles in the series also provide access to the pre-20th century literature strands of the National Curriculum English Orders. At the end of each book there is a section of exercises focusing on vocabulary building, comprehension, discussion and writing. Penguin Readers are graded at seven levels of difficulty, from 'Easystarts' with a 200-word vocabulary, to Level 6 (Advanced) with a 3000-word vocabulary. In addition, titles fall into one of three sub-categories: 'Contemporary', 'Classics' or 'Originals'.
