"On the right side of the law?sort of?Sebastian Rudd is not your typical street lawyer. His office is a customized bulletproof van, complete with Wi-Fi, a bar, a small fridge, and fine leather chairs. He has no firm, no partners, and only one employee: his heavily armed driver, who also so happens to be his bodyguard, law clerk, confidant, and golf caddie. Sebastian drinks small-batch bourbon and carries a gun. He defends people other lawyers won?t go near: a drug-addled, tattooed kid rumored to be in a satanic cult; 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 Sebastian believes everyone is entitled to a fair trial?even if he has to bend the law to secure one." --Amazon.com.

Review of 'Rogue Lawyer' on 'Goodreads'

This one didn't resonate with me as much as other John Grisham novels. Still, the different cases being told were interesting, and there was some good deprecating humour that I enjoyed. I was just hoping for a book that I couldn't put down, and this one wasn't it.

Review of 'Rogue Lawyer' on 'Goodreads'

Grisham spins yarns. That's what he does. Colorful characters, vivid scenes, excitement, adventure, cliffhangers, and endings that sort of limp into view and disappear. This book probably embraces that more than any of his others. It's less of a coherent story and more of a collection of slices of life that show the messiness of life. I got it for Christmas, picked it up the next morning, and finished it that night. Loved it.
