The Secret History of Tom Trueheart by Ian Beck. This is actually a kids' audio but I have it here in the pile so I'll mention it. Tom is the youngest of seven boys. His brothers go on adventures and quests and record their stories for the Story Bureau. Tom stays at home with his mother. When all six of Tom's brothers fail to appear for Tom's birthday, Tom gets a letter from the Bureau and is off to find out what happened to his siblings.

The Firm by John Grisham. Actually the case is just new. The old one must have been beaten up and gotten replaced. Well. I suppose the new case makes it look brand new. I saw the movie version of this in a San Antonio theater in 1993 while I was on vacation.
