David Enrich, the New York Times's business investigations editor, reveals the dark side of American law, delivering a devastating exposé of the astonishing yet shadowy power wielded by the world's largest law firms. To tell this story, Enrich focuses on Jones Day. Since 2016, Jones Day has been in the spotlight for representing Donald Trump's campaigns and PACs. But the Trump work is just one chapter in the firm's checkered history: it has represented entities from Big Tobacco, leading gun companies, the Catholic Church, Purdue Pharma (the maker of OxyContin), Fox News, as well as Russian eligarchs. In this gripping and revealing new work of narrative nonfiction, Enrich makes the compelling central argument that law firms like Jones Day play a crucial yet largely hidden role in enabling and protecting powerful bad actors in our society, housing their darkest secrets, and earning billions in revenue for themselves.
