Well, a Grisham novel, could that not be summed up in a couple of lines, Conspiracy, Good (little) Lawyer, Bad (Corporate) Lawyer (or Bad Law), good guy wins out in the end?

It's the story of how some crooked judges are able to run a scam from inside a jail, paralleled with how a completely evil general tries to buy an election and start a war.
