The next screen adaptation of a John Grisham novel is here, this time in the form of a TV series. “The Rainmaker” hits the USA network on Friday.
Based on the best-selling novel of the same name, the series centers on Rudy Baylor, freshly out of law school, as he goes head-to-head with Leo Drummond as well as his law school girlfriend, Sarah. With a bit of help, Rudy uncovers two connected conspiracies surrounding the mysterious death of their client’s son and works to solve them.
