false 1847187 53 Looking for a romantic, hardboiled legal drama with a social conscience? Look no further. This audio version of John Grisham's blockbuster <I>The Street Lawyer</I> is narrated by Michael Beck (<I>The Golden Seal</I>, <I>Xanadu</I>), whose portrayal of the similarly named Michael Brock, with his squeaky-clean voice and crisp annunciation, is in perfect pitch with the corporate attorney's Ivy League image. Beck's believable, engaging performance is compelling, drawing the listener into Brock's charmed life and his decision to quit the firm after being held hostage by a disgruntled homeless man. Moved by a crisis of conscience, Brock seeks out the gravel-throated, streetwise legal aid counselor Mordecai Green. Green shows him the ropes, and Brock soon becomes part of the scenery he used to look down on from his plush 14th-floor office. Meanwhile, our hero is on the lam for stealing an important file that holds the secret to an illegal eviction--one that may lead to a murder charge. Faced with a failing marriage, a client on crack, and the threat of disbarment, Michael has plenty to think about as he and Mordecai negotiate a fair settlement for the victims of an inexcusable crime. <I>(Running time: 360 minutes; 4 cassettes)</I> 1040524 book 1998 The Street Lawyer total:11453|5:1876|4:3769|3:4429|2:1159|1:220| 11453 40281 13689 416 3 2 false false Tue May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sun May 13 14:29:29 -0700 2007 Sun May 13 14:38:59 -0700 2007 more...]]> 1 2 false false Fri Aug 01 19:49:29 -0700 2008 Sun Aug 03 17:40:30 -0700 2008
