Circle of Greed is the epic story of the rise and fall of Bill Lerach, once the leading class action lawyer in America and now a convicted felon. For more than two decades, Lerach threatened, shook down and sued top Fortune 500 companies, including Disney, Apple, Time Warner, and—most famously—Enron. Now, the man who brought corporate moguls to their knees has fallen prey to the same corrupt impulses of his enemies, and is paying the price by serving time in federal prison.
If there was ever a modern Greek tragedy about a man and his times, about corporate arrogance and illusions and the scorched-earth tactics to not only counteract corporate America but to beat it at its own game, Bill Lerach's story is it.

Reseñas de la Crítica
“John Grisham would have to struggle to invent a character as brilliant and unethical as Bill Lerach. It is a credit to the reporting talents of Patrick Dillon and Carl M. Cannon that, in Circle of Greed, they capture the felon-lawyer in all his charm and ruthlessness. Along the way they show how the plaintiffs' bar has transformed the process of class actions into big business.”— Wall Street Journal
“[A] revelatory yarn . . . In Circle of Greed, the authors do justice to their subject and have produced a book that proves the adage that truth can be stranger than fiction.”— Washington Times
“Mr. Dillon and Mr. Cannon have written the type of book that, like Den of Thieves and Smartest Guys in the Room, helps to explain an era.”— NYTimes.com/DealBook

What did you love best about Circle of Greed?
This is a legal biography, so to speak. To enjoy it, you'd have to be somewhat curious about the legal profession, or else much of it might bore you. In great detail, it follows the career case by case of a hard-core litigator who took his humble University of Pittsburgh law degree and used it to ride into international headlines. As a government lawyer, I found it interesting to learn how he accomplished his own version of success, which obviously differs from lawyers like myself but is nonetheless entertaining. The author offers anecdotes of discovery disputes, tactical maneuvers, and courtroom battles straight from the mouths of his opposing counsel, in addition to input from Lerach himself. As his career rockets upward with each settlement or victory along the way, we all know that the end result was a prison sentence and disbarment.Solid legal biography
