Pressured out of his high-powered Manhattan law firm and caught up in a dead-end solo practice, Michael Seeley, the hard but wounded hero of Mistakes and Omissions, cannot say no when his estranged brother Leonard, head of research at upstart biotech Vaxtek, Inc., flies in from California to beg him to dominate the business's lawsuit for patent infringement of its Assists vaccine after the apparent suicide fatality of the lead trial law firm. The financial and moral stakes of the circumstance are staggering and Seeley suspects that murder can't be ruled out as a hardball litigation strategy of big-pharma adversary St. Gall Laboratories. As Seeley travels between San Francisco and Silicon Valley to prepare for trial, dark facts surface concerning the vaccine's breakthrough by Vaxtek scientist Alan Steinhardt and its alleged theft by St. Gall researcher Lily Warren.

A timely and fascinating look at how the law functions at its most arcane yet financially consequential, A Patent Rest is further proof that Paul Goldstein can be an emerging get better at of the legal thriller.
