The Last Days of Night by Graham Moore

This one has an intriguing legal case, a historical battle of epic Wall Street proportions and a bit of romance. Green attorney Paul Cravath walks into the office of one of the giants of the Industrial Age and walks out with one huge client and a case nobody wants - George Westinghouse vs. Thomas Edison. What starts out as the battle of the light bulb escalates to the future of electrical power. Before it is finished morals will be tested, laws will be rewritten and a giant will fall. With more than a little luck, daring and playing the game better than the players, Paul might be able to pull off the biggest legal case of the decade and slay Goliath or he will end up much as he started, an untested attorney holding a rock. Graham Moore gives us the perfect combination of larger-than-life characters in an exciting period of time where fortunes were made and lost in an instant and dreamers sat and invented what we have come to take for granted. Fans of Eric Larsen will devour this.
