Sebastian Rudd is not your typical street lawyer. He works
out of a customized bulletproof van, complete with Wi-Fi, a
bar, a small fridge, fine leather chairs, a hidden gun
compartment, and a heavily armed driver. He has no firm, no
partners, no associates, and only one employee, his driver,
who’s also his bodyguard, law clerk, confidant, and golf
caddy. He lives alone in a small but extremely safe
penthouse apartment, and his primary piece of furniture is a
vintage pool table. He drinks small-batch bourbon and
carries a gun.
Sebastian defends people other
lawyers won’t go near: a drug-addled, tattooed kid rumored
to be in a satanic cult, who is accused of molesting and
murdering two little girls; a vicious crime lord on death
row; a homeowner arrested for shooting at a SWAT team that
mistakenly invaded his house. Why these clients?
Because he believes everyone is entitled to a fair trial,
even if he, Sebastian, has to cheat to secure one. He hates
injustice, doesn’t like insurance companies, banks, or big
corporations; he distrusts all levels of government and
laughs at the justice system’s notions of ethical
behavior.
Sebastian Rudd is one of John
Grisham’s most colorful, outrageous, and vividly drawn
characters yet. Gritty, witty, and impossible to put down,
Rogue Lawyer showcases the master of the legal
thriller at his very best.
